FSX 800 chassis
The FSX 800 chassis is 6 rack units in height and consists of the following:
• Two half slots for the management modules
• Two half slots for the switch fabric modules
• Eight half slots for the interface modules
• Four slots for power supplies along the bottom of the card shelf. The power supply slots add an
additional rack unit (RU) to the height of the chassis.

FIGURE 3 FSX 800 chassis
The FSX 800 chassis ships from the factory with the following components installed:
• Two switch fabric modules
• A slot panel in each interface module slot and power supply slot that does not currently have a
module or power supply installed in it. The slot panel ensures proper airflow within the chassis.
• One AC power supply
• A fan tray assembly which contains the cooling system for the chassis
In the FSX 800 slots, you can install the following:
• Up to two management modules
• Up to 8 interface modules
• Up to four AC and DC power supplies: two system (12-volt) power supplies and two POE (48- or
220-volt) power supplies
Before installing any modules or power supplies, you must remove the slot panel.
If you do not install a module in a slot, you must keep the slot panel in place. If you run the
chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.
