In BladeCenter H, the ports of CFFh cards are routed through the midplane to I/O bays 7, 8, 9, and 10, as
shown in Figure 3. The BladeCenter HT is similar in that the CFFh cards are also routed through the
midplane to I/O bays 7, 8, 9, and 10.

The Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter (CFFh) requires that two I/O modules be installed in bays 7 and 9 of
the BladeCenter H and HT chassis, as shown in Table 4.
