Default Combining two HD2 systems in Magma Chassis

First off, can this be done?

If so, what is the slot configuration - Core, Core Accel, Accel or Core, Accel, Core, Accel?

Thanks for the input!

PCI or PCIe cards
there is an order for mixing Process and Accel PCI cards, I would follow that if PCI treating the second core as a Process card

PCIe I don't think will matter

These are PCI cards in the Magma PE6R4-1 chassis.

Thanks Craig

Core - Core - Accel - Accel is the correct order

I've got an HD3 PCI-X non Accel right now in PE6R4 and it works perfectly. If I wanna add up some Accel cards (to have access to Accel chip compatible only plugins) can I mix Accel cards in there even if my core card is not Accel? What would be the order to put the cards? Thanks.

All cores first then all accels then all process cards.

What does having more than one core card in a system do for you?
