Each crossbar fabric module connects to 8 switching modules and 2 supervisor
modules. In addition, each crossbar fabric module supports four 55 Gbps fabric
ports connected to each switching module and one 55 Gbps fabric port connected
to each supervisor module.
The fan modules cover the fabric modules in the back of the chassis. Fan module 1
must be removed to access fabric modules 1 and 2, fan module 2 must be removed
to access fabric modules 3 and 4, and fan module 3 must be removed to access
fabric modules 5 and 6.
The LEDs on the crossbar fabric modules indicate the status of the modules.
Table 6 describes the LEDs.

Since the crossbar fabric modules are located behind the fan modules in the

Description
All diagnostics pass. The
module is operational
(normal initialization
sequence).
One of the following occurs:
The module is booting or
running diagnostics (normal
initialization sequence).
An over-temperature
condition occurred (a minor
threshold was exceeded
during environmental
monitoring).
One of the following occurs:
The diagnostic test failed.
The module is not
operational because a fault
occurred during the
initialization sequence.
An over-temperature
condition occurred (a major
threshold was exceeded
during environmental
monitoring).
Fabric module has been
manually powered off.
Bad slot ID parity.
The module is not receiving
power.
Operator has flagged this
card for identification.
