For compatibility information, please refer to the Line Card and Fabric Module Compatibility data sheets.
Note
Do not mix ACI-mode line cards with NX-OS mode line cards in the same switch.
-
Fabric modules in slots FM 1 to FM 6 (reported as modules 21 to 26) (numbered from left to right on the chassis)

You can see the status of only 1 to 30 modules.
switch# sh module ? <CR> <1-30> Enter module number
Note
All of the fabric modules in a modular switch must be of the same type.
Note
The fabric modules must be installed in specific slots as follows (installing fabric modules in other slots can cause a module mismatch condition):
-
For three modules, they must be in slots FM 2, FM 4, and FM 6
-
For four modules, they must be in slots FM2, FM 3, FM 4, and FM 6
-
For five modules, they can be in slots FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, FM 5, and FM 6.
-
For six modules, they are in slots FM 1, FM 2, FM 3, FM 4, FM 5, and FM 6
Note
When using FM-G fabric modules, any empty fabric module slots should be filled with N9K-C9508-FAN-PWR cards.
Note
When using any fabric modules other than N9K-C9508-FM-G, any empty slots should be filled with N9K-C9508-FM-CV cards.
Note
When using N9K-C9508-FM-R2, no fabric module slots shall be left empty.
Note
For more information about Line card and fabric module compatibility, see the Cisco Nexus 9500 Platform Line Cards and Fabric Modules Data Sheet.
