Figure 4-1 Partition Rules - 16s Alternative options are provided in the event that a smaller partition is combined with a larger partition. For example, if a 3 blade partition is the only thing loaded, the blades will be loaded in slots 1, 3 and 5. A second 3-blade partition would be loaded in slots 2, 4 and 6. This is shown in the line 3P (preferred loading rules for 3 blade partitions). However, if the customer orders a 5-blade partition and a 3-blade partition, the loading rules will dictate that the 5-blade partition gets loaded first in slots 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 (from the 5P row). That only leaves slots 4, 6 and 8 for the 3-blade partition (3A - 3-blade partition with alternative loading order). Details on possible uses of the alternative loading options: The alternative two cell blade partition with cell blades in slots 7 & 8 (shown in the light green) is provided to allow 2 3-cell blade partition and 1 2-cellblade partition to co-exist in the same enclosure. The alternative two cell blade partition in slots 4 & 8 (light blue) is provided to support a 2 cell blade partition if two alternative 3 cell blade partitions are used. The alternative 3 blade cell partition in slots 4, 6 and 8 allows both a 5 cell blade and 3 cell blade partition to co-exist in the same enclosure. 30 Planning nPartitions

Alternative options are provided in the event that a smaller partition is combined with a larger
partition. For example, if a 3 blade partition is the only thing loaded, the blades will be loaded
in slots 1, 3 and 5. A second 3-blade partition would be loaded in slots 2, 4 and 6. This is shown
in the line 3P (preferred loading rules for 3 blade partitions). However, if the customer orders a
5-blade partition and a 3-blade partition, the loading rules will dictate that the 5-blade partition
gets loaded first in slots 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 (from the 5P row). That only leaves slots 4, 6 and 8 for
the 3-blade partition (3A – 3-blade partition with alternative loading order).
Details on possible uses of the alternative loading options:
The alternative two cell blade partition with cell blades in slots 7 & 8 (shown in the light green)
is provided to allow 2 3-cell blade partition and 1 2-cellblade partition to co-exist in the same
enclosure. The alternative two cell blade partition in slots 4 & 8 (light blue) is provided to support
a 2 cell blade partition if two alternative 3 cell blade partitions are used. The alternative 3 blade
cell partition in slots 4, 6 and 8 allows both a 5 cell blade and 3 cell blade partition to co-exist in
the same enclosure.
