5.13.2 CFFh
The CFFh I/O expansion connector provides I/O connections to high-speed switch modules
that are located in bays 7, 8, 9, and 10 of a BladeCenter H or BladeCenter HT chassis, or to
switch bay 2 in a BladeCenter S chassis.
The CFFh slot is a second-generation PCI Express x16 (PCIe 2.0 x16) slot. A maximum of
one CFFh I/O expansion card is supported per blade server. A CFFh I/O expansion card can
be installed on a blade server at the same time that a CIOv I/O expansion card is installed in
the server.
