The five illustrations above show an IOM blank covering the bottom IOM slot (0B) on the controller
enclosure. The remaining illustrations in the section feature enclosures equipped with dual IOMs.
IMPORTANT: If the S3200/S2200 controller enclosure is configured with a single controller module, the
controller module must be installed in the upper slot, and an I/O module blank must be installed in the
lower slot (shown above). This configuration is required to allow sufficient air flow through the enclosure
during operation.
