Note
The fabric modules must be installed in specific slots as follows (installing fabric
modules in other slots can cause a module mismatch condition):
• For three modules, they must be in slots FM 2, FM 4, and FM 6
• For four modules, they must be in slots FM2, FM 3, FM 4, and FM 6
• For five modules, they can be in slots FM 1, FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, and FM 6.
Alternatively, they can be in Slots FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, FM 5, and FM 6.
• For five FM-E or FM-E2 modules, they must be in Slots FM 2, FM 3, FM
4, FM 5, and FM 6
• For six modules, they are in slots FM 1, FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, FM 5, and FM
6
Note All of the fabric modules in a modular switch must be of the same type.
Note
Fabric slots FM 2, FM 4, or FM 6 must be filled with functioning fabric modules
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-C9516-FM-CV) installed to
preserve the designed airflow.
