The following figure shows the location of the fabric cards in the LCC and how the CXP connectors are
labeled. The fabric planes are numbered S0 through S5 and are installed in slot numbers 0 through 5. Each
fabric cable connects to one of the FC connectors (0 through 15), and to a single S2 FC in an FCC.

The Fabric Card Chassis (FCC) supports up to 12 S2 fabric cards. When multiple FCCs are installed in a
multi-chassis system, the S2 fabric cards are distributed across the FCCs. Depending on the maximum number
of LCC in the multi-chassis system, each Stage 2 fabric plane consists of one or more S2 fabric cards. Each
S2 fabric card supports up to 32 CXP modules. Each 2nd generation S2 fabric card (S2 FC2) supports up to
32 CXP2 modules. The S2 FC's that belong to a plane can be placed in any FCC but it is recommended to
