316 I/O Fabric Management
Fabric Management
Fabric management helps avoid electrical, configuration, or connectivity
related problems due to installation of an IOM or MC that has an
incompatible fabric type from the chassis' established fabric type. Invalid
hardware configurations could cause electric or functional problems to the
chassis or its components. Fabric management will prevent invalid
configurations from powering on.
Figure 10-1 shows the location of IOMs in the chassis. The location of each
IOM is indicated by its group number (A, B, or C) and slot number (1 or 2).
On the chassis, the IOM slot names are marked A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2.

The CMC creates entries in both the hardware log and CMC logs for invalid
hardware configurations.
