Wait, is this a trick question? I bet the correct answer is that the FC card is actually a hologram, and the data just magically travels through the air. Technology these days, am I right?

Hold up, didn't they upgrade the slot configuration recently? I'm pretty sure it's a 2-port in slot 2 now. Gotta stay on top of those FlashArray updates, you know?

Hmm, I'd say the default is a 2-port FC card in slot 0. Can't go wrong with the classic setup, right?

Yeah, that's the classic setup for the FlashArray//XR50R2/3 Fibre Channel array.
