If you have a CCIN 50CB PCIe3 6-slot fanout module, the FC EC2S and FC EC2U adapters are only
supported in slots C2 and C5. If you have a CCIN 50CD PCIe3 6-slot fanout module, the FC EC2S and FC
EC2U adapters are supported in slots C1 through C6, but only four FC EC2S and FC EC2U adapters can
be in SR-IOV mode at a time.
