Figure 5 shows the interconnections between the server blades and interconnect switch module (SWM) ports for the c7000 enclosure, with a similar physical interconnect bay color-coding scheme (see figure 6). The mapping of the Bl860c and BL870c blade connections to the switch module bay ports is similar to the c3000 enclosure; however since the enclosure has 8 available device bays,

if a BL870c server blade is in device bays 1 and 2, the value of "N" is 2if a BL870c server blade is in device bays 3 and 4, the value of "N" is 4If a BL870c server blade is in device bays 5 and 6, the value of "N" is 6If a BL870c server blade is in device bays 7 and 8, the value of "N" is 8
