This section describes the controller module, expansion enclosure IOM, and power cooling module components for 2U
enclosures.
Controller module
The top slot for holding controller modules is designated slot A, and the bottom slot is designated slot B. The face plate details
of the controller modules show a module aligned for use in slot A. In this orientation, the controller module latch is shown at the
bottom of the module and it is in a closed/locked position. See
