The adapters are installed in this order in the system for best performance.
Performance notes
Use this information to determine the maximum number of adapters that can be placed in a system while
still maintaining optimum performance.
Performance notes regarding GX++ channel adapters and I/O expansion units
The I/O expansion units must be limited to one expansion unit per GX++ channel controller (FC 5615 or
FC EJ04) Do not connect multiple expansion units to the same GX++ channel controller.
Table 6 on page 24 shows the slot placement priorities and the maximum number of specified adapters
that can be installed for connectivity. However, for optimum performance, you might want to further
