Half-height slots – dual-port CNAs
In half-height slots with dual-port CNAs installed in the server blades, the servers map to a single port
on each of the two IOAs. Figure 16 and Table 3 present the port mapping for half-height slots with
dual-port CNAs.
Note: Ports 2, 4, 6 and 8 are not used when using half-height blades with dual-port adapters.
