B

There are few differences between board slots and each slot can accept any board type. However, slot 1 connects directly to the internal SCSI tray through the centerplane and related cables. The internal tape and/or CD-ROM or other optional internal SCSI drives cannot be used unless an I/O board is present in slot 1.

Although the remaining slots are equivalent, I/O boards should be located on the back side of the centerplane for easy access to interface cables at the rear of the cabinet.
