BCM Media Bay Module

Hello everyone...

I need a little clarification on resources.
As everyone that works on a BCM's knows.. Each MBM will take up a certain number of Resources from the system..
32+ MBM 1 resource
4pt analog trunk MBM 1/4 resource
16+ MBM 1/2 Resource
And so on..

Now the 4pt analog trunk takes up 1/4 resource
and the 16+ takes up 1/2..
Wouldn't a 4x16 combination card only take up the same amount as the two cards being seperate? I've heard the 4x16 combo card takes up 1 1/4 resource..
So does the 4x16 take up 3/4 or 1 1/4?

The 4x16 takes up 1/4 of 1 BUS for the trunks and 1 whole BUS fot the digital stations.

A 32+ DSM takes up 1 BUS (Double Density)
A 32 DSI takes up 2 BUS's
A 4x16 is half of a 32 DSI so it takes 1 BUS just for the Digital Stations
