https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/device-bay-crosslinks/m-p/4392587#M5625 It's between bays in the same quadrant. So for 1/2 height devices you can connect 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8. This means each server can have one partner blade.

All the docs I've found talk about 'adjacent' blades, but they don't say adjacent which way, or if it's both!<BR /><BR />What I'm after is knowing if it's possible to attach a tape blade *and* an SB40c DAS blade to a BL460c (for example), or can each server blade only link to one other blade?<BR /><BR />Hope someone can help!<BR /><BR />Cheers Wed, 01 Apr 2009 15:01:15 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/device-bay-crosslinks/m-p/4392586#M5624 Ed Bourne 2009-04-01T15:01:15Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/bladesystem-general/device-bay-crosslinks/m-p/4392587#M5625 It's between bays in the same quadrant.
