Tall frames have eight drawers and can house up to sixteen thin nodes, eight
wide nodes, or four high nodes. All node types can be mixed in these frames.
They also accommodate a switch. These frames are designed for concurrent
maintenance; each processor node can be repaired without interrupting
operations on other nodes.
