, two ports from the VIC 1340 are channeled to 2304 Fabric Extender A and two are channeled
to 2304 Fabric Extender B. Adapter slot 2 is empty. The VIC 1380 installed in adapter slot 3 connects four
ports from a native 40G interface to each of the Fabric Extenders. The result is 60 Gb of bandwidth to each
Fabric Extender.

, two ports from the VIC 1240 are channeled to 2304 Fabric Extender A and two are channeled
to 2304 Fabric Extender B. The Port Expander Card installed in adapter slot 2 acts as a pass-through device,
channeling two ports to each of the Fabric Extenders. In addition, the VIC 1280 channels four ports to each
Fabric Extender. The result is 80 Gb of bandwidth to each Fabric Extender.
