Because Multi Access Blades do not provide conferencing capability, 
every 96 ports of VoIP requires 1 Smart Blade.

MeetingPlace 8106 server hardware
The 8106 server is a rack mountable box, 7 inches tall, 18.9 inches wide, and 
14.5 inches deep. Fully loaded, it weighs up to 40 pounds.
The 8106 server has the capacity for a CPU card, six slots for Smart Blades or 
Multi Access Blades to provide physical connectivity to the telephone 
network, and four drives: two disk drives, a floppy drive, and a CD-ROM 
drive. The front of the chassis allows access to the CPU, Smart Blades, and 
redundant power supplies. Local Area Network (LAN) cables, and telephony 
and Voice over IP (VoIP) cables plug into the back. (For more information on 
key 8106 features and technical specifications, see
