The ports of the FC 16B are color-coded in groups, with four purple ports alternating with four unmarked ports, to indicate which ports can be used in the same ISL Trunking group.

Note: ISL Trunking is a Fabric OS feature that enables distribution of traffic over the combined bandwidth of up to four ISLs between two directly adjacent switches, while preserving in- order delivery. For information about ISL Trunking, refer to the ISL Trunking User Guide.

The Power Supply Side

Figure 1-2shows the power supply side of the FC 16B switch, which provides access to the fan trays and power supplies and the Switch Status LED. Each power supply also has an LED that indicates the status of that power supply. The power supplies, fan trays, and the entire switch are all FRUs (field replaceable units).
