Step 8 Enter the show hardware fabric-mode command to verify that increased bandwidth capabilities are
activated:
The following example shows the output of the show hardware fabric-mode command, and indicates
that support for the MDS 9000 48-port and 24-port 8-Gbps Generation 3 modules has been activated.
switch# show hardware fabric-mode
Fabric mode supports Gen3 and above linecards.

Director
Do not upgrade to NX-OS Release 4.1(1b) or later if a Supervisor-1 module is installed.
Note
To use any Generation 3 8-Gbps module in an MDS 9509 Director or MDS 9506 Director, follow these
steps:
Step 1 Log in to the switch.
Step 2 Verify that the switch is running Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(1b) by entering the show version command.
If the switch has NX-OS Release 4.x or higher installed, then Supervisor-2 module is already installed
on the switch. Skip to step 7 to install any Generation 3 8-Gbps module.
Enter the show module command to determine which supervisor module is in active mode and which is
Step 3
in standby module. Supervisor modules are installed in slot 5 and slot 6 on the MDS 9509 Director and
MDS 9506 Director.
The following example shows the output of the show module command:
