X7-4 Director Hardware Installation Guide
NOTE
When nonport-side exhaust (NPE) fan and power supply assemblies are installed, air flows through the side
vent and exhausts to the nonport side. When nonport-side intake (NPI) fan and power supply assemblies are
installed, air flows from the nonport-side and exhausts through the side vent. When installing the chassis in
a four-post rack with the airflow diversion rack mount kit, airflow is redirected to or from the port side of the
chassis. Therefore, if NPE fan and power supply assemblies are installed, air flows into port-side air vents and
exhausts to the nonport side. If NPI fan and power supply assemblies are installed, air flows into nonport-side air
vents and exhausts through to the port-side.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to lift or support the chassis by the logo bezel attached over the port-side air vents.
NOTE
Be careful to not push on the mesh screen covering the side air vent or poke it with sharp objects.
Port-Side Slot Numbering
The X7-4 Director contains 6 full-width slots and two half-width slots, for a total of 8 slots. Facing the port side of
the device, the half-width slots are on the top, numbered 1 and 2 from left to right. The remaining full-width slots are
numbered 3 through 8, counting from top to bottom of the chassis.

routing (CR), port, and extension blades into slot numbers as follows:

in slot 2 will be designated as CP1 in CLI command and message output.
•
