General considerations
Continue using multiple ESCON Directors for
independent paths to same I/O subsystem
Retain existing port addressing symmetry
If no symmetry, consider developing
Opportunity to validate port naming convention
Port card separation now involves 8 ports
Migrating from Model 2 or Model 3 will require
up to 6' longer jumper cables
