integration with Nexus 5000 products. By default, the Fabric Manager components are installed on your
computer's hard drive, in the C:\Program Files\ folder. The installation path is the root directory on your
computer, such as C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems. Fabric Manager and databases are installed in
application directories, such as C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\DCM\FM.
