You say 192 slots or 384 ports.
Not me, it's IBM doc along with Parwez Hamid​, top IBM tech person, redbook author, conference speaker, etc. etc. (retired now from IBM I believe).
I understand slots being PCIe but was is ports? Is this fiber optic cables or does it somehow split a PCIe slot?
IBM I/O cards almost all come with two plug ports, or SFP's, or whatever you want to call the spot where you plug in a cable. The only cards I can think of that only have one plug port are the 10G OSA cards. So that's why I said 384 ports MAX.
And crypto cards have no plug ports. So if a machine has any of those, down goes that 384 max count.
