data passes.
Switch Fabric modules (SF modules) are installed horizontally on the front panel of the
switch chassis. You can install either one or two SF modules in an EX9204 or EX9208

EX9204 or EX9208 switch has only one SF module, and a base configuration EX9214
switch has two SF modules. See EX9204 Switch Configurations, “EX9208 Switch
