GESAs can be installed in slots 53 and 54 of a processor enclosure and in slots 51, 52,
53, and 54 of an I/O enclosure (see Figure 2-1 on page 2-4). GESA slots should not
be left empty. When no GESA is installed in a slot, a ServerNet adapter filler panel
(U09021) should be installed in the empty slot to maintain proper air flow and to reduce
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
