Note

If the blade switches are ordered with the BX600 system, the blade switches are already installed, and 
no unpacking is required. The unpacking procedure applies only if a blade switch is ordered separately.

BX600 System Architecture

The four chassis I/O module slots are on the rear panel (see 

Figure 2-1

). You can insert blade switches 

into the NET1, NET2, NET3, and NET4 I/O blade bays.
