explained in Figure A.11.)

NOTE: When addressing a one-block transfer module, it must be
addressed by the lowest group number that it occupies and at slot 0. For
example, a one-slot block transfer module in rack 1, group 2 and 3 (chassis
slot 2) would be addressed (by Rack-Group-Slot) at location 120.

NOTE: When addressing a two-slot block transfer module, it too must be
addressed by the lowest group number that it occupies and at slot 0. For
example, a two-slot block transfer module in rack 3, groups 4, 5, 6, and 7
(it occupies chassis slots 3 and 4) would be addressed (by Rack-Group-
Slot) at location 340.

Also see the appropriate block transfer module user’s manual. Block
Transfer modules must be located in the same slot pair (i.e., slots 0/1, 2/3,
