    Version ( "2.6.0" ), Description (
       "Slots are special types of Connectors into which adapter Cards "
       "are typically inserted. The SlotInSlot relationship represents "
       "the ability of a special adapter to extend the existing Slot "
       "structure to enable otherwise incompatible Cards to be plugged "
       "into a Frame or Hosting Board. The adapter effectively creates "
       "a new Slot and can be thought of (conceptually) as a Slot in a "
       "Slot. This enables Cards that would otherwise be physically "
       "and/or electrically incompatible with the existing Slots to be "
       "supported, by interfacing to the Slot provided by the adapter. "
       "This has many practical uses. For example, networking boards "
       "are very expensive. As new hardware becomes available, Chassis "
       "and even Card configurations change. To protect the investment "
       "of their customers, networking vendors will manufacture "
       "special adapters that enable old Cards to fit into new Chassis "
       "or Hosting Boards and/or new Cards to fit into old. This is "
       "done using a special adapter that fits over one or more "
       "existing Slots and presents a new Slot into which the Card can "
       "plug.")]
