Understanding Fabric Modules
Up to four fabric modules can be installed in each BlackDiamond X series chassis to provide the active
switching fabric for the switch. The switch fabric supports N+1 redundancy. Three fabric modules are
required to provide full switch fabric capacity. The fourth module provides excess capacity for
redundancy but is not required to maintain full line rate on the front-panel ports. Fabric modules are
installed in dedicated slots at the back of the chassis, behind the fan trays.
Two types of fabric modules are available for the switch:
•
BDXA-FM10T module
•
BDXA-FM20T module
