Core I/O Each partition must contain at least one cell that is attached

to an I/O chassis containing core I/O, which comprises primarily:

• console support

• 10/100 BaseT LAN

Placement of Core I/O, Boot and Removable Media Cards:

• Put the core-I/O card in the rightmost slot (slot 0) of an I/O chassis

(this is the only slot it can go in).

• Put the boot device controller in the same I/O chassis as the core

I/O card. If the boot device controller is a 4X card, put it in slot 4 of

this chassis. If it is a 2X card, put it in slot 1 of this chassis.

• Put the removable media card (e.g., for a DVD drive) in slot 8 of

this chassis.
