# Module Bays
|
|
|
|
Module bays represent a space or slot within a device in which a field-replaceable [module](./module.md) may be installed. A common example is that of a chassis-based switch such as the Cisco Nexus 9000 or Juniper EX9200. Modules in turn hold additional components that become available to the parent device.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
If you need to model child devices rather than modules, use a [device bay](./devicebay.md) instead.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip
|
|
Like most device components, module bays are instantiated automatically from [module bay templates](./modulebaytemplate.md) assigned to the selected device type when a device is created.
