4 Install I/O blanks in any unoccupied slot.
Required Tools
You need the following tools and equipment to install modules:

ESD-preventive wrist strap
•
#2 Phillips screwdriver for the retaining screws on the fan tray and locking screws on management
and I/O modules

The slots for fabric modules are numbered 1 through 4, from left to right. If you are installing only three
fabric modules, use slots 1 through 3.

connectors.
