Recommended physical topology The recommended minimum design for a scalable fabric is two chassis with fabric A populated with redundant IOMs. Ideally, the two chassis are located in separate racks on separate power circuits to provide the highest redundancy. Additional chassis only have FEMs and the appear as the image below. Table 4.

Recommended physical topology
The recommended minimum design for a scalable fabric is two chassis with fabric A populated with redundant IOMs. Ideally, the two
chassis are located in separate racks on separate power circuits to provide the highest redundancy.
Additional chassis only have FEMs and the appear as the image below.
