About Clock Modules

All switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family have two clock modules—Module A (primary) and Module
B (redundant). The clock modules are designed, tested, and qualified for mission-critical availability
with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 3,660,316 hours. This translates to a potential failure
every 365 years. Additionally, Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches are designed to automatically switch
to the redundant clock module should the active clock module fail.
