A fuel cell assembly includes a manifold having a plurality of fuel cell connecting zones. At least some of the zones have differing characteristics such as area and arrangement of electrical connections and inlet and outlet ports corresponding to differing electrical power capacities. The assembly also includes one or more fuel cell stacks. At least some of the stacks have differing electrical power capacities, differing characteristics corresponding to the differing characteristics of the manifold zone, and corresponding differing arrangements of electrical connections and inlet and outlet ports. These differing characteristics are designed so that a fuel cell stack of a particular capacity can be connected only to a manifold zone corresponding to such capacity. A block-off plate is provided for coupling to a manifold zone where it is desired not to place a fuel cell stack. A connector arrangement is provided which seals the manifold connections when no block-off plate or fuel cell stack is coupled to a particular manifold zone and which eliminates the need for the block-off plate.
