For redundancy, you can install a standby Switch Fabric Module. The module first installed functions as the primary module. When you install two Switch Fabric Modules at the same time, the module in slot 5 acts as the primary module, and the module in slot 6 acts as the backup. If you reset the module in slot 5, the module in slot 6 becomes the primary module.
