Table 1-12 Maximum Chassis Configuration on a Cisco MDS 9513 Director (Valid) (continued) Slot No. 11 12 13 Modules in Cisco MDS 9513 Director 48-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module 48-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module 48-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module Totals Physical Generation Ports 2 48 2 48 2 48 528 Port Indexes 48 48 48 528 Switching Modules The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supports the following hot-swappable Fibre Channel switching modules: • Generation 3 modules - 48-port 8-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module - 24-port 8-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module - 4/44-port 8-Gbps Host-Optimized Fibre Channel Switching Module • Generation 2 modules - 48-Port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module - 24-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module - 12-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module - 4-port 10-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module • Generation 1 modules - 32-Port 2-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module - 16-Port 2-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module The Cisco MDS 9500 Series supports up to eleven hot-swappable switching modules. By combining different switching modules in a single, modular chassis, you can design cost and performance optimized storage networks in a wide range of application environments. The Fibre Channel switching modules provide system-wide power management and autonegotiation, which allows ports to negotiate for speed at the other end of the link. Each module has temperature sensors and an EEPROM that stores serial number and model number information. The Fibre Channel port interfaces support hot-swappable Fibre Channel SFP and SFP+ transceivers, which can be short wavelength (SWL) or long wavelength (LWL). The port interfaces also support coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) SFP transceivers, which can be used for extended long wavelength (ELWL) transmission or for coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM). See the "Supported Transceivers" section on page 1-55. Note The internal bootflash installed on the modules are not field-replaceable units. Do not remove or replace internal bootflash on the modules. Modifying the factory-installed bootflash is not supported. For configuration information about the modules, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide. 1-32 Cisco MDS 9500 Series Hardware Installation Guide OL-17467-02
