FAQs

Q: Is this module interchangeable with the non-OEM Fabric-3 for MDS 9706?
A: Functionally equivalent for OEM-labeled MDS 9706 systems; confirm part number acceptance and support policy for your specific chassis and vendor support contract.

Q: Do I need to power down the chassis to install it?
A: No. It supports hot insertion/removal when other fabric modules maintain redundancy. Follow documented maintenance procedures.

Q: Are all fabric slots required to be populated?
A: For maximum bandwidth and N+1 resiliency, populate all fabric slots. Partial population reduces available crossbar bandwidth.

Q: Can I mix different fabric generations or OEM labels?
A: Avoid mixing in production. Use matching Fabric-3 modules with consistent labeling per vendor guidance.
