Each switch module occupies one slot in a Centillion 50/100 chassis. In a

Centillion 100 chassis, you can install a maximum of either:

•Five EtherSpeedII switch modules and one master control processor (MCP) switch module

•Four EtherSpeedII switch modules and two MCP switch modules

In a Centillion 50 chassis, you can install a maximum of two EtherSpeedII switch modules and one MCP switch module.

Note: See Appendix B, “Cables and Connectors,” for more information about wiring and pin assignments.
