Because of their larger size, full-height server blades support up to 4 processors, up to 32 DIMM slots for DDR3
memory, 2 hot-plug drives, 2 dual-port FlexFabric 10 Gb CNAs (4 ports total), and 3 PCIe x8 Gen 2 mezzanine
slots for optional I/O cards. Full-height server blades also provide twice as much I/O bandwidth to the interconnect
modules as half-height server blades (Figure 3).
