About the blades

A blade is the primary component that handles the traffic management within the VIPRION platform. You can install
up to four blades in a VIPRION chassis. These blades comprise a group, known as a cluster. The chassis includes blanks
in the slots where blades are not installed. Blanks must be installed in all unused slots, as they help ensure proper airflow
within the chassis and EMC compliance of the unit.
