SAN384C-6 chassis

The SAN384C-6 is a 10-slot chassis with two supervisor modules and up to 8 I/O modules.

The chassis holds up to six crossbar fabric switching modules, up to 8 AC power supplies, and three fan modules. Airflow is front-to-back (port-side intake) in the SAN384C-6 chassis.

Note: The base configuration of the SAN384C-6 ships with two supervisor modules, three crossbar fabric switching modules, and six power supplies.
The slots on the front of the chassis are numbered.
  • Line card slots 1 - 4 and 7 - 10 are numbered top to bottom. Each slot can hold one 48 port 32 Gbps Fibre Channel switching module.
  • Slots 5 and 6 are side-by-side and numbered left to right. Each slot is half the width of the chassis and each slot can hold one supervisor module.
  • Two rows of power supply bays exist at the bottom of the chassis. The top row has bays 1 - 4, numbered left to right. The bottom row has bays 5 - 8, numbered left to the right. Each bay can hold one power supply.
The slots on the rear of the chassis are also numbered.
  • Fan modules 1 - 3 are numbered left to the right. When the fan modules are installed, they cover the fabric modules.
  • Fabric module slots 21 - 26 are numbered left to the right. Slots 21 and 22 hold fabric modules 1 and 2; slots 23 and 24 hold fabric modules 3 and 4; and slots 25 and 26 hold fabric modules 5 and 6. The slots for the fabric modules are behind the fan modules.

    Each slot is half the width of the chassis and each slot can hold one supervisor module.

  5. Power supply modules (up to eight bays).
    • Two rows of power supply bays exist at the bottom of the chassis. Each bay can hold one power supply.
    • The top row has bays 1-4, numbered left to right.
    • The second row has bays 5-8, numbered left to right.

  1. Fan modules - (Three fan modules) 1-3 are numbered left to the right. When the fan modules are installed, they cover the crossbar fabric switching modules. Only two fan modules are shown in the figure. One fan module is removed to show the crossbar fabric switching module in back.
  2. Crossbar Fabric switching modules - (Up to six crossbar fabric switching modules with two modules behind each fan module). The crossbar fabric switching modules 1 and 2 are behind the fan module slot 1. The crossbar fabric switching modules 3 and 4 are behind the fan module slot 2. The crossbar fabric switching modules 5 and 6 are behind the fan module slot 3.
