There are 11 slots numbered #0–#10 as shown in Figure 2-2. Power supply
modules occupy slots #0 and #10. The CPU module occupies slot #5. I/O blades
occupy slots #1–#4 and #6–#9. The Fibre Channel ports on the I/O blades are
numbered 0–63 from top to bottom according to slot number as shown in
Figure 2-2. For example, the ports 0–7 are always associated with the I/O blade in
slot #1; ports 8–15 are always associated with slot #2, and so on. For example, if
there were no I/O blade in slot #1, I/O blade #2 would retain the 8–15 port
numbering.
