Figure 4 Switch 8807 slots
The Switch 8807 chassis provides seven slots in its board area: The top two
accommodate fabrics, which can operate in 1+1 redundancy mode; the
remaining five accommodate I/O or application modules, which you can select
from various available models. All modules in this area are hot-swappable.
At the bottom of the chassis is the power area that can accommodate one PoE
entry module and two PSUs. The two PSUs are online-swappable; they can
operate in 1+1 redundancy mode. The switch supports AC power inputs.
On the right of the chassis is the fan area that contains one vertical
hot-swappable fan tray. The fan tray draws and exhausts air from left to right.
