The server shares a common I/O backplane that supports a total of 10 PCI slots: slots 1-2 on
systems with only one core I/O SAS card, and slots 1, 2, and 10 for systems with two core I/O
SAS cards, are for customer use. Slots 2-10 are used for core I/O functions on systems with only
1 SAS core I/O card; slots 2-9 are used on systems with 2 SAS core I/O cards. The System Bus
Adapter (SBA) logic within the zx2 chip of a server uses 16 rope interfaces to support up to eight
