Important It is recommended that each stack consists of two “fully
loaded” Processors, each with three M/Es. If necessary, you
can use a mis-matched configuration (e.g., two M/Es in the
bottom stack, three in the top), but the top stack must always
have three M/Es installed. In this way, your stacked set will
never have anything less than four M/Es available.
