For example, in a full-height blade mezzanine card 3, connection 1

Table 1-15 shows the port number assignments for the

eight possible full height blade locations.

NOTE: Even though PowerEdge M610x is a full blade system, only two mezzanine

card slots (MEZZ1_Fab_C1 and MEZZ2_FAB_B1) in the expansion bay are available

for use. The other two slots on the system board (MEZZ1_FAB_C and

MEZZ2_FAB_B) are occupied by the mezzanine interface card which provides

connectivity between the PCIe expansion-card riser and the system board.

For PowerEdge M610x in bay n:

• Mezzanine card B (in the expansion bay) connects to I/O module B1, port

n+8 and I/O module B2, port n+8.

• Mezzanine card C (in the expansion bay) connects to I/O module C1, port

n+8 and I/O module C2, port n+8.
