Converting the loop number to NIC port location labels

Use the following table to convert the HSL/RIO loop number to NIC port location labels.

Note: If you are working on a 570, exchange the FRU on the correct unit (primary or secondary) by matching the serial number (if available in the FRU list on the serviceable event view) or by matching the loop number to the correct unit.
Note: To simplify this information, secondary units on the 570 server are numbered 1 through 3-secondary unit 1 being nearest to the primary unit and secondary unit 3 being furthest.
