Switch and PSU Placement for Custom S6 Configurations
These diagrams show switch and PSU placement for example systems that are six or more chassis in width. Use these diagrams to
determine where to place units, then proceed to “Installing the Ethernet Switch” on page 38.
For systems that include a Producers Desk, make sure you have read “If Your System Includes a Producers Desk” on page 35.
6-Chassis Systems
Figure 7 shows an example six-chassis system such as an M40-40-5 that requires a single 24-port Ethernet switch.
Figure 8 shows a different example six-chassis system such as an M40-40-9-D. This configuration uses two Ethernet switches.
7-Chassis Systems
Figure 9 shows an example seven-chassis system such as an M40-48-9-D. This configuration uses one 16- and one 24-port switch.
9-Chassis Systems
Figure 10 shows an example nine-chassis system such as an M40-64-9. This configuration uses one 16- and one 24-port switch.
Figure 11 shows another nine-chassis system such as an M40-64-9-D. This configuration uses two 24-port switches.
