These sections describe fabric module handling procedures. Illustrations depict a DCS-7316 chassis
and fabric modules. While proper handling of DCS-7316 components is imperative because of their
size and weight, the instructions also describe best practices for handling DCS-7304 and DCS-7308
components.
