Mezzanine Card Installation Guidelines

• The blade supports one SFF mezzanine card.
• The mezzanine card slot supports Fabric B or Fabric C, depending on the slot in the sleeve where the blade is
installed. This card must match the fabric type of the I/O modules installed in the corresponding I/O module
bays.
NOTE: For more information on I/O modules, see "Guidelines for Installing I/O Modules" in the
