Complete and Base Configurations

For maximum functionality, the Sun Datacenter Switch 3456 is designed to be
operated in a fully configured state:
24 line cards
■
18 fabric cards
■
16 power supplies
■
2 CMCs
■
If necessary, fewer components can be installed. For example, the base configuration
of the switch is:
1 line card
■
18 fabric cards
■
6 power supplies
■
2 CMCs
■
For the base configuration or a partial configuration, filler panels must be installed
where there are empty line card and power supply slots.
