A J-EX8216 chassis accepts 16 line cards, two Routing Engine (RE) modules, eight Switch
Fabric (SF) modules, two fan trays, and six AC power supplies. All 16 slots for the line
cards and the two slots for the RE modules run horizontally across the front of the chassis.
The fan tray slots run vertically on the left of the chassis front. The six power supply slots
run vertically across the front bottom of the chassis. The eight slots for the SF modules
run vertically on the chassis rear.

The slot labels for the RE module slots and the line card slots appear in two columns on
each fan tray. The labels are identical on both fan trays, allowing you to use either fan
tray in either fan tray slot. You read the slot labels based on the location of the fan trays.
On the top fan tray, read the inner column of labels. On the bottom fan tray, read the
outer column of labels. Table 8 on page 14 lists the slot numbers on the J-EX8216 fan
trays and the components those slots accept.
