The web interface must have improved, because it does clarify which is 
import/export
vs storage slot.  The confusing thing is it will let you configure a partition 
of
size X as long as you have the room, but the slots aren't actually usable until
empty terapacks are present in those chambers.  I'm surprised there isn't some
counter at least on the web interface that shows available vs absent slots.
