2 Because this switch is designed with side-to-side airflow, Cisco recommends a minimum air space of 16 cm (6 in) between walls and the chassis air vents, and a minimum separation of 30 cm (12 in) between two chassis to prevent overheating.
3 Each model includes eleven slots for 4-, 12-, 24 and 48-port Fibre Channel switching modules. The base configuration requires selection of a minimum of one switching module and two Supervisor-2 Modules, each with one Compact Flash Memory Drive, two power supplies, a fan tray and firmware support for Cisco Fabric Manager, VSAN and PortChannel.
