Cisco MDS 9506 Director
The Cisco MDS 9506 Director has a 6-slot chassis as shown in Figure 1-4, and it supports the following:
• Up to two Supervisor-1 modules that provide a switching fabric, with a console port, COM1 port,
and a MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port on each module. Slots 5 and 6 are reserved for the supervisor
modules.
• Four slots for optional modules that can include up to four switching modules or three IPS modules.
• Two power supplies located in the back of the chassis. The power supplies are redundant by default
and can be configured to be combined if desired.
