The Cisco MGX 8830 switch uses a PXM1E controller card and supports cell bus-based service modules. The Cisco MGX 8950 supports only serial bus-based service modules. The Cisco MGX 8880 uses a PXM45/C controller card, and supports only serial bus-based service modules. This hardware installation guide replaces all previous hardware guides for these switches.
