Additional chassis only have FEMs and the appear as the image below.

You can also use Fabric B to create a second scalable fabric:
NOTE:
The OME-Modular firmware version 1.20.00 supports additional but complex topologies. For more information, see
the PowerEdge MX Network Architecture Guide available at https://www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals.
Restrictions and guidelines
The following restrictions and guidelines are applicable when building a scalable fabric:
● Mixing switch types in the same fabric is not supported. For example: MX9116n in slot A1 and MX5108n in slot A2
● Mixing switch types across fabrics is supported. For example: MX9116n in slots A1& A2 and MX5108n in slots B1 & B2
● All FSE and FEM IOMs in a scalable fabric must be in the same OME–Modular MCM group. FEMs in a chassis in MCM group
1 cannot be connected to FSEs in a chassis in MCM group 2.
