    1 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the SmartSwitch 9A100 User Guide. The SmartSwitch 9A100 ATM switch is a module that fits into the SmartSwitch 9000 chassis. You can install up to seven SmartSwitch 9A100 switches into a 14-slot SmartSwitch 9000 chassis; or up to three switches into a 6-slot chassis. The module is hot swappable, meaning that you can install and remove it without turning off or disconnecting the chassis.
