Mezzanine card 1, connection 1 connects to I/O module C1, port n. Mezzanine card 1, connection 2 connects to I/O module C2, port n.

Mezzanine card 2, connection 1 connects to I/O module B1, port n. Mezzanine card 2, connection 2 connects to I/O module B2 port n.

Mezzanine card 3, connection 1 connects to I/O module C1, port n+8. Mezzanine card 3, connection 2 connects to I/O module C2 port n+8.

Mezzanine card 4, connection 1 connects to I/O module B1, port n+8. Mezzanine card 4, connection 2 connects to I/O module B2 port n+8.

For example, in a full-height blade:

Mezzanine card 3 connection 1 connects to I/O module C1, port 13.

Mezzanine card 3 connection 2 connects to I/O module C2 port 13.

The following table 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.
