Switching Modules
The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supports the following hot-swappable Fibre Channel switching modules:
•
•
•
The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supports up to eleven hot-swappable switching modules. By combining
different switching modules in a single, modular chassis, you can design cost and performance optimized
storage networks in a wide range of application environments.
The Fibre Channel switching modules provide system-wide power management and autonegotiation,
which allows ports to negotiate for speed at the other end of the link. Each module has temperature
sensors and an EEPROM that stores serial number and model number information.
The Fibre Channel port interfaces support hot-swappable Fibre Channel SFP and SFP+ transceivers,
which can be short wavelength (SWL) or long wavelength (LWL). The port interfaces also support
coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) and dense wavelength-division multiplexing
(DWDM) SFP transceivers, which can be used for extended long wavelength (ELWL) transmission or
for coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) and dense wavelength-division multiplexing
(DWDM). See the
Note The internal bootflash installed on the modules are not field-replaceable units. Do not remove or replace
internal bootflash on the modules. Modifying the factory-installed bootflash is not supported.
