(b) Setting the number of slots smaller than the actual one
Set the smaller number than the actual number of slots when slots with no module mounted need not be
recognized.
For example, four slots from the right end of the base unit will be the prohibited slots when using a 12-slot base
unit and setting the number of available slots to eight. (Mounting a module on a prohibited slot causes
"SP.UNIT LAY ERR.".)
