2U enclosure rear panel
Alphabetic designators on controller modules or IOMs and numeric designators on PCMs indicate slot sequencing for the
modules used in 2U enclosures. Controller modules, IOMs, and PCMs are available as CRUs. The ME4 Series RBODs use 4-port
controller modules. These RBODs support the ME412/ME424/ME484 EBODs for optionally adding storage.

NOTE: The preceding figures show dual controller module configurations. Alternatively, you can configure the 2U controller
enclosure with a single controller module. In single controller module configurations, the controller module is installed in slot
A, and a blank plate is installed in slot B.
