Xdensity Four User Support

As many as Four users can operate on a single Xdensity load module. A user can own from one to four port resource groups per load module. 32 ports of Xdensity is divided into four resource groups and each resource group consists of 8 ports defined as follows:

A user can own non-consecutive resource group (i.e. resource group 1 and resource group 4). Port Cluster specifications are as follows:
