A. B. C. D.B.
The blade chassis can hold a total of 16 half-height blades or 8 full-height blades. If 6 full-height blades are already installed, the remaining slots for blades would be:
8 (total slots) - 6 (full-height blades installed) = 2 remaining slots
Therefore, the maximum number of half-height blades that can be installed in the chassis would be the maximum number of half-height blades that can fit in 2 slots. Each full-height blade takes up two slots, so the remaining 2 slots can hold a maximum of one full-height blade or two half-height blades.
Since the question is asking for the maximum number of half-height blades that can be installed, we need to calculate how many half-height blades can fit in the remaining 2 slots.
One full-height blade = 2 half-height blades So, the remaining 2 slots can hold a maximum of:
2 (slots) x 1 (full-height blade) x 2 (half-height blades per full-height blade) = 4 half-height blades
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 4.
