Modules

You insert modules horizontally into the 7-slot chassis.
Slots are numbered from bottom to top, with the
bottom slot being number 1.
The 7-slot chassis can contain the following modules:
Management — There are two slots (slot 8 and
slot 9) for management modules:
The Enterprise Management Engine ( EME) is
an SNMP-based network management module
that manages and controls the
CoreBuilder 9000 Enterprise Switch and its
modules. The EME is the primary
communication mechanism into the Switch
and modules. You manage other intelligent
modules within the chassis through the EME.
The Enterprise Management Controller (EMC)
module provides standby controller functions
for an EME in a CoreBuilder 9000 Enterprise
Switch.
Interface — There are six slots (slot 1 through
slot 6) for interface modules. The interface
modules offer a selection of packet-based or
cell-based interfaces that work with the switch
fabric module.
