Explanation:
In typical HP lazy question style this answer is open to debate, as we do not know if they are using a c7000 or c3000 chassis… In cases like this plum for whatever makes HP more money..! So c7000 in this case…
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00810839/c00810839.pdf
All of HP c-Class FC HBA’s are Dual Ported and their signals can only route out of ports #1 and #2 – even when they are installed in a Mezz slot with 4 signal paths… There is NO WAY to alter this…
So, if we assume the question is aimed at a c7000 enclosure then:
A FC HBA installed in Mezzanine #2 would route signals to Interconnect Bays 5 & 6 on a c7000 enclosure.
However, if we assume the question is aimed at a c3000 enclosure then:
A FC HBA installed in Mezzanine #2 would route signals to Interconnect Bays 3 & 4 on a c3000 enclosure.
