2-Slot ECM
The 2-slot ECM occupies the width of two slots, as shown below. For example, the
ECM for slots 1 and 2 plugs into the 2 mm connectors for slot number 1 (n=1). The
ECM can plug into any odd or even slot, and the lowest slot in the pair is the protecting
slot. In the figures of the Traverse shelf below, all of the odd main backplane 2 mm
connectors are chosen and shown in dark gray. The outline of the 2-slot ECM for slots
1 and 2 is shown in light gray.
