[c-nsp] 6513s and 6700 series blades

[Eric Cables]

I am in a situation where we have 4x 6513s and an assortment of
6700/6500 series blades.  I know that the 6513 has limitations on
which modules have dual channel fabric connections (9-13), but I am
not 100% sure how the 6700 series blades will act in the other slots.

I have been told by our Cisco SE that the 6748 blade will not function
in blades 1-8, but I wanted to confirm whether that was true.  The
reason I suspect that it will is because we have some 6724 modules in
slot #1 that are operating at 1x20Gbps.

My question is this: Will a 6748 act the same way, with a single
1x20Gbps connection to the fabric, or will it not work at all?

Thanks,
