Port Numbering on I/O Blades
I/O blades are numbered IO0-IO7 from left to right (for FC4G16 blade type). The
Fibre Channel ports are numbered based on the I/O blade identity. For example,
ports on I/O blade IO0 are always numbered 0–15 from left to right, top to bottom,
as shown in Figure 5-3. IO1 ports are always numbered 16–31, and so on up to a
maximum of 127. Fibre Channel ports can also be identified by I/O blade and port
number. For example, port 0 is also known as IO0-0.
