Chassis Hardware
The SANbox2-64 switch is set of up to eight 8-port I/O blades. Each I/O blade is
interconnected with all other I/O blades through the backplane which is supported
by four cross-connect ASICs. A CPU module provides configuration, monitoring,
data path management, and control functions.

The base SANbox2-64 switch is configured as a 16-port switch. The 16-port
switch is equipped with 2 I/O blades, 2 power supply modules, and a CPU
module. To maintain proper air flow and cooling in the 16-port switch, blank panels
are installed in empty I/O blade slots. You can expand the switch by installing
additional I/O blades up to a total of eight. The 64-port switch is equipped with
8 I/O blades, 2 power supply modules, and a CPU module as shown in
