BDXA-FM10T fabric modules provide a total switch fabric capacity of 10 Terabits per second, and
BDXA-FM20T fabric modules provide 20 Terabits per second.
A switch fabric composed of BDXA-FM10T modules will provide full line rate for the BDXA-10G48X,
BDXA-10G48T, BDXB-100G4X, and BDXA-40G12X I/O modules. For the BDXA-40G24X I/O module, a
BDXA-FM20T switch fabric is required for full line rate on all ports. The BDXA-40G24X I/O module will
not operate with a switch fabric composed of BDXA-FM10T modules.
All the fabric modules in a switch must be the same type; you cannot combine BDXA-FM10T modules
and BDXA-FM20T modules.
Status LEDs for each fabric module are on the fan tray that is in front of that fabric module. The status
LEDs for the fabric module are labeled Diag and Stat.
The following table describes the meanings of the fabric module LEDs.

Understanding Fan Trays
At the back of the BlackDiamond X series chassis are five vertical fan trays, each holding six fans. Fan
trays are hot-swappable. Two pairs of LEDs on each fan tray indicate operating status for the fabric
