1-The two switch fabric modules in the FastIron SX 800 and FastIron SX 1600 operate in a load-sharing fashion. Upon failure of one of the switch modules, some system capacity will be lost. In this event, some traffic flows may experience reduced capacity through the remaining operational switch fabric during periods of high traffic loading.

2-FastIron SuperX 1000BaseT modules are field-upgradeable to PoE with a PoE daughter card. 3 -Computation is based on the 2500W, 220 VAC PoE power supply.
