Installing a CPU blade
The following illustration shows slots where CPU blades can be installed:
Install CPU blades sequentially in the slots (1 to 16) in the following illustration. Install slot covers
on slots with no CPU blades. Note the following for the installation:
 When you install a half-height double-wide blade, it should be installed on slots that are
neighboring horizontally with the left slot having an odd number (e.g., Slot 1 and Slot 2). Start from
a left slot with a smaller number in the following illustration. You cannot install it on horizontally
neighboring slots with the left slot having an even number (e.g., Slot 2 and Slot 3).
 When you install a full-height single-wide blade, it should be installed on slots that are neighboring
vertically (e.g., Slot 1 and Slot 9). Start from an upper slot with a smaller number in the following
illustration. Blade slots are separated into blocks that are full-height and double-wide (Slots 1, 2, 9,
and 10; Slots 3, 4, 11, and 12; Slots 5, 6, 13, and 14; and Slots 7, 8, 15, and 16). You cannot have
blades of different heights in a single block. However, you can have blades with different widths in
a single block.
For information on blade sizes, see "Installable CPU blades" on page 45.
The installation procedure shown above may not apply to some module types. In this case, follow
