ABSTRACT:
A system having expansion slots is capable of multiple configurations. In a first configuration, a first blade is coupled to a first module via a first expansion slot and a second blade is coupled to a second module via a second expansion slot. The first and second modules may be I/O modules such as PCI Express modules. In a second configuration the first and second blades are both coupled to a third module via the first and second expansion slots. The third module may be a shared resource such as a cache card.
