Displaying Information About the Installed Hardware Modules
You can display information about the switch hardware and the hardware modules that are installed in the
switch chassis by using the show hardware command.
Displaying the Hardware Inventory for a Switch
You can display information about the field replaceable units (FRUs), including product IDs, serial numbers,
and version IDs by using the show inventory command. The output for this command displays information
about modules that respond to command line interface commands. Modules such as supervisors, system
controllers, line cards, fans, fabric modules, and power supplies. But does not display information for modules
that do not respond to those commands, such as blank modules that cover empty slots to manage airflow.
