FIGURE 1 FSX 800 chassis and component slots
The FSX 800 chassis ships from the factory with the following components installed:
• Two switch fabric modules
• A slot panel in each empty interface module slot and power supply slot. The slot panel ensures
proper airflow within the chassis.
• One AC power supply
• A fan tray assembly, which contains the cooling system for the chassis
You can install the following components in the FSX 800 slots:
• Up to two management modules
• Up to eight single slot and up to 4 double slot interface modules
• Up to four AC and DC power supplies: two system (12-volt) power supplies and two PoE (52- 54-
volt) power supplies
Before installing any modules or power supplies, you must remove the slot panel.
CAUTION
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If you run the
chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
The figure below shows the FSX 800 slots where you install modules and power supplies, and the
electrostatic discharge (ESD) connector, into which you can plug an ESD wrist strap to ground
yourself while handling and installing modules.
