deployments only. The Fabric Interconnect is orderable as a complete, engineered system called
the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance (VCA), which has different contents and installation
procedures. If you are deploying a stand-alone (non-VCA) Fabric Interconnect, continue to
use this documentation. If you are deploying an VCA Fabric Interconnect, do not use this
documentation. Instead, use the documentation that accompanied your VCA shipment.

Fabric Interconnect F1-4 Locking I/O Modules

The Fabric Interconnect F1-4's I/O Modules have a locking mechanism to secure the modules
into the chassis. The locking mechanism (a quarter-turn Pawl) is embedded in the I/O Module
handle, which has a slotted head. By using a screwdriver, you can turn the I/O module handle
in a 90-degree arc to lock or unlock the I/O module. For more information, see
Module Lock" on page
By default, the Fabric Interconnect F1-4 is shipped with module blanks instead of the actual
I/O Modules. I/O module blanks also have the locking mechanism. Be aware that when you
initially install the Fabric Interconnect F1-4, the I/O module blanks will need to be unlocked
and removed before installing I/O Modules.

Power Cord Management

The Fabric Interconnect F1-4 power supply units (PSUs) are on the front of the chassis, and as
a result, they are not used with the standard cable management brackets which mount at the rear
of the chassis. The power cords have their own management system which anchors them to a
pre-installed part that sits on the front mounting brackets.
