15  Expansion Modules for Dell Networking Switches 
4.3  Dell Networking 8100 Series (8132, 8132F, 8164, and 8164F) 
There are four switch models in the Dell Networking 8100 series, each with one bay on the 
front 
of the switch for an 
expansion module.  The 
front view
 of the switch is one of the four shown in the figure below.  The yellow outline 
shows the bay on each switch.

All three modules may be used for stacking the 8100 series switches.  Also, any port on the front of an 8100 may be 
used for stacking.  Orange screws on the modules above indicate that they are hot-swappable modules. The Dell 
Networking 8100 series supports the same expansion modules as the N40xx and Dell Networking MXL.  Whenever a 
module is moved from an N40xx/MXL to an 8100 or vice versa, a reload of the switch is required for proper 
functioning of the module.
