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.
Important
Remember that master units (ID#1 and ID#2) must be VP, not
VPx. “Slave” units can be VP or VPx.
