The 4RU chassis consists of a total of 18 slots all of which can host functional modules. Slot number 0 is dedicated to
host the switch module and slot number 17 can only host multi-slot input modules. Alternatively a second switch
module can be placed in slot 17 for some redundancy configurations. The remaining 16 slots are identical and can be
occupied by any of the functional modules available. A 4RU chassis including a mandatory switch module, power
supply connectors, and module slots is shown in
Figure 2.1 and 2.2
. Power modules and fan modules are inserted from
the back (figure 2.3 showing the XC5000).
