The expansion blade attaches to the blade server unit through the CFFh connector on the system board of
the server blade. The top cover of the blade server needs to be removed and the expansion blade attaches to
it, forming a double-width blade server unit. Additional expansion blades can be attached, for a total of four. A
supported CFFh adapter can be attached to the top-most expansion blade if the server unit is installed in a
BladeCenter H or BladeCenter HT chassis.
