Optional Switch In the CoreBuilder 9000 8-slot chassis and 16-slot chassis, you can install Fabric Module a second Gigabit Ethernet Switch Fabric Module for redundancy.

Redundancy

CAUTION: If you install a second Gigabit Ethernet Switch Fabric Module for redundancy, it must be the identical type of module as the one that is currently installed. For more information about switch fabric module redundancy, see the 9-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Fabric Module Quick Start Guide for the CoreBuilder 9000 Enterprise Switch, and the 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Fabric Module Quick Start Guide for the CoreBuilder 9000 Enterprise Switch.

Optional The required Enterprise Management Engine (EME) provides both Management management and controller functions in the chassis. To have redundant Redundancy management and controller functions in any chassis type (7-slot chassis,

8-slot chassis, and 16-slot chassis), install a second EME. To have only redundant controller functions in any chassis type, install an Enterprise Management Controller (EMC).
