CAUTION:
When you install a switching fabric module, avoid damaging the connectors on it.
IMPORTANT:
•
The M9000-X06 and M9000-AI-X06 gateways do not support hot swapping of switching fabric
modules. The M9000-X10 and M9000-AI-X10 gateways supports hot swapping of switching
fabric modules.

The M9000-X06 and M9000-AI-X06 gateways each provide six switching fabric module slots,
but only slots 6 to 9 are available. Install a minimum of one switching fabric module if the device
is installed with more than one interface switch module. If the device is installed with only one
interface switch module, you can choose to not install any switching fabric modules.
