Executive Summary

expansion
Dell offers several blade and rack-mounted switches that can be upgraded by installing
modules.
Using Dell's FlexIO technology, these modules can be used to increase access ports,
augment upstream bandwidth, extend media forms (10GBase-T, SFP+, QSFP+, CX4, XFP), or add
stacking capabilities.
When possible, Dell allows for a module to be used in multiple devices. You can freely move a module
from one device to another device when supported.
This document identifies each Dell Networking switch and its corresponding set of expansion
modules. In this document, Blade Switches and Corresponding Modules lists and describes modules
for corresponding blade switches that install into a Dell M1000e blade chassis. Rack Switches and
Corresponding Modules lists and describes modules for corresponding rack-mounted switches.
