Switch Fabric modules
The Virtual Services Platform 9010 chassis uses the 9095SF module.
Each SF module connects to eight different I/O module slots and two CP module slots
simultaneously. You can install a maximum of six SF modules in each chassis, in a 5 + 1
redundancy configuration.
If you install a second generation module in Virtual Services Platform 9010, you must have a
minimum of five SF modules installed. Populate slots SF1 and SF4, and use any other slots for the
remaining three SF modules.
If you install a first generation module in Virtual Services Platform 9010, you must have a minimum
of three SF modules installed. Populate slots SF1 and SF4, and use any other slot for the remaining
SF module.
The SF module slot numbers increment from bottom to top when you view the chassis from the rear.
The slot location determines the module function. Slots SF1 and SF4 provide the arbitration and
traffic scheduling, and therefore, bandwidth management, from the I/O modules, and provide
redundancy when both slots are populated. The other slots provide additional bandwidth.
Bandwidth requirements depend on your hardware configuration.
Control Processor module
The 9080CP module performs the following tasks:
• runs all high level protocols, for example Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Open Shortest
Path First (OSPF)
• distributes the routing update
• manages and configures the I/O and SF modules
• maintains and monitors the health of the chassis
• displays the status of the modules installed at the back of the chassis using LEDs
You can hot swap the external storage devices (compact flash memory card or the USB devices).
Any sudden removal of external storage devices can cause data loss or damage the hardware. For
more information on the removal of external storage devices, see
on page 94.

Important:
The 9080CP module in a Virtual Services Platform 9010 AC chassis must run software Release
3.4 or later. You cannot plug and play a 9080CP module from a Virtual Services Platform 9012
chassis to a Virtual Services Platform 9010 AC chassis if the Virtual Services Platform 9012
