• For six modules, they are in slots FM 1, FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, FM 5, and FM 6.
Fabric slots FM 2, FM 4, or FM 6 must be filled with functioning fabric modules or blank modules with power
connectors (N9K-C9516-FM-Z) in order to provide power to the fan trays covering those modules.
If fabric slots FM 1, FM 3, or FM 5 are not filled with a fabric module, you must make sure that they have a
blank module (N9K-C9516-FM-CV) installed to preserve the designed airflow.
