[asterisk-users] blades?

[Jon Pounder]

Quoting Mike Lynchfield <theclubvoip at gmail.com>:

does the piggyback actually require the type T chassis or can it go in  
the type H chassis ? (I have never been able to see a picture of the  
pci module so don't know where the card backplanes are - are they out  
the front of the blade for external connections ?) you wouldn't by  
chance have a photo of one would you ?

Also - we normally use the scsi piggybacks on our blades, can you have  
a pci and a scsi on there at the same time or is it just one or the  
other ?

the pci module docs talk about internal redundancy vaguely - is the  
pci module actually connected to anything internally on the midplane  
besides power or just the blade itself and however the pci card  
backplanes are exposed ??
