Fabric slots FM 2, FM 4, or FM 6 must be filled with functioning fabric modules or blank modules
with power connectors (N9K-C9508-FM-Z) in order to provide power to the fan trays covering those
modules.
If fabric slots FM 1, FM 3, or FM 5 are not filled with a fabric module, you must make sure that they
have a blank module (N9K-C9508-FM-CV) installed to preserve the designed airflow.
