Introduction Hardware Overview
DC Power Supply Specifications
Table 2-7 lists the physical specifications for the RS’s DC Power Supplies.
Table 2-8 lists the environmental specifications for the RS’s DC Power Supplies.
2.4.7 Switching Fabric Module (RS 8600 only)
On the RS 8600, the switching fabric is contained on a separate plug-in module. The RS 8600 has slots for two of these
modules. When two switching fabric modules are installed, the module in the slot labelled “Fabric 1” serves as the
primary switching fabric module, and the module in the slot labelled “Fabric 2” serves as a redundant switching fabric
module.
Figure 2-8 shows the front panel of the RS 8600 Switching Fabric module.
