Note: You may want to save the blank for future use as needed. The blank is needed for the
switch to operate normally if a power supply slot is not populated.
F.3 Fabric and Fan Module (Fabric Module)
The fabric and fan modules are hot-swappable. They are accessible from the rear of the switch (Rear
Panel). You must take into account that the module you are inserting is compatible with the switch and
the module that you are replacing. Perform the following steps to remove and replace a fabric and fan
module, or a fan-only module, if your switch supports one.
Note: The DCS-7816 switch has twelve fabric modules, each of half height.
