The full-height, single wide M420 sleeve holds up to four M420 blades in four slots a, b, c, and d.
A maximum of eight sleeves fit into a single M1000e chassis. Understanding how the blades connect
demonstrates the impact of switch choice on the number of available ports, as shown in Figure 6.
Blades connect to Fabrics B and C differently depending on the slot within the M420 sleeve.
