† With Emulex Virtual Fabrics Adapters II for HS23 installed in a blade server, two 10 Gb Ethernet ports on the
adapter itself are routed to the chassis I/O bays 8 and 10 (unlike other CFFh cards), and two 10 Gb Ethernet ports
integrated on a blade itself are routed to the chassis I/O bays 7 and 9.
* While the 10Gb LOM Interposer card does not consume a CFFh slot, you have to remove it if you plan to install a
CFFh expansion card.
