Chassis

The Cisco MDS 9216 Switch has a 2-slot chassis that includes a non-removable supervisor module with an integrated 16-port switching module, and a second slot for either a 16-port or 32-port switching module or an IPS module (see

Figure 1-1). It supports dual power supplies and a removable fan module.

Slot 1 contains the supervisor module with its integrated 16-port switching module. The supervisor module provides switching and local and remote management. Above Slot 1 is the interface module, which provides the local and remote management interfaces for the supervisor module.

Slot 2 is reserved for an additional hot-swappable 16-port or 32-port switching module or an 8-port IPS module.
