FAQs

Q: Will this OEM-labeled module work in a non-OEM MDS 9710?
A: Functionality is equivalent, but acceptance and support can depend on chassis labeling and support contracts. Confirm compatibility with your platform documentation.

Q: Do I need to schedule downtime to replace it?
A: Not necessarily. The module is hot-swappable when other fabric modules maintain redundancy. Follow change control and vendor procedures.

Q: Is mixing OEM and non-OEM modules supported?
A: Use a consistent set of modules per vendor guidance. Mixing is not recommended for production.

Q: Does this module determine FC port speeds?
A: It underpins internal fabric bandwidth. External FC speeds are governed by installed line cards and supported NX-OS versions.
