I/O slot 01 has an ISC-3 Daughter (ISC-D) half-high card (FC 0218) in the top, connected to
STI 0 (Jack J.00) from MBA 0 of book 0. Its two enabled ports have PCHID numbers 100 and
101.
I/O slot 04 has a FICON Express LX card (FC 2319), connected to STI 8 (Jack J.08) from
MBA 2 of book 0, and its two ports have PCHID numbers 130 and 131.
The pre-assigned PCHID number of each I/O port relates directly to its physical location (jack
location in a specific slot), except for ESCON sparing; refer to Figure 3-11 on page 96 for an
ESCON sparing example.
Table 3-5 shows the PCHID numbers range for each I/O slot of each I/O cage.
