Refer to the exhibit. How many internal server-facing ports are available on this I/O module for the MX7000 chassis?
The correct answer is B. 8. Option B (8) is correct because the Dell EMC MX7000 chassis accommodates up to 8 compute sleds, and each I/O module provides one internal server-facing (fabric) port per sled slot - giving exactly 8 internal ports per IOM. Option A (2) is far too low and doesn't correspond to…

Explanation
Option B (8) is correct because the Dell EMC MX7000 chassis accommodates up to 8 compute sleds, and each I/O module provides one internal server-facing (fabric) port per sled slot - giving exactly 8 internal ports per IOM. Option A (2) is far too low and doesn't correspond to any meaningful architectural grouping in the chassis. Option C (16) is a common trap - it doubles the actual sled count, perhaps confused with dual-port NICs or total internal bandwidth paths, but the port count on the IOM itself is 8. Option D (24) reflects typical external uplink/port counts seen on top-of-rack switches, not internal chassis fabric ports.
Memory tip: "MX7000 = Max 8 sleds = 8 internal IOM ports." Lock in the sled capacity of the chassis and the internal port count follows directly - one port per sled slot.
