SBx3106 Chassis
The SBx3106 product is a modular Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet
switch. The main components are the AT-SBx3106 Chassis, Ethernet
cards, a controller card, a system power supply, a Power over Ethernet
Plus (PoE+) power supply, and a fan module.
The chassis is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. AT-SBx3106 Chassis
The chassis has slots for the following components:
Four or five Ethernet line cards
Two AT-SBx31CFC960 Controller Fabric Cards
Two AC or DC system power supplies
Two Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) power supplies
One AT-SBxFAN06 Fan Module
Note
The maximum number of Ethernet line cards depends on the
number of controller cards. The chassis can accommodate four
Ethernet line cards when there are two controller cards in the unit
and five Ethernet line cards when there is one controller card.
The chassis components are identified in Figure 2 on page 21 and Figure
3 on page 21.
