Various configurations of the IO connectors are possible depending on the model of M5000 you
have ordered. Figure 2-3 shows the possible configurations.
An MDC (Midas daughter card) is needed in order to achieve some of the configurations illustrated.
This is an I/O spacer available in two models, the MDC-SFF and the MDC-RJ45. Figure 2-3 shows
