Page 11: Overview
Overview, on page 1 Overview The Cisco Nexus 93120TX switch (N9K-C93120TX) is a 2-RU, fixed-port switch designed for Top-of-Rack (ToR), Middle-of-Rack (MoR), and End-of-Rack (EoR) deployment in data centers. This switch has 96 fixed 1/10GBASE-T (copper) downlink ports and six fixed 40-Gigabit QSFP+ (optical) uplink ports. The chassis for this switch includes the following user-replaceable components: •... - Page 12 To determine which transceivers, adapters, and cables are supported by this switch, see the Cisco Transceiver Modules Compatibility Information document. The following figure shows the hardware features seen from the power supply side of the chassis. Cisco Nexus 93120TX NX-OS Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide...
- Page 13 All of the fan and power supply modules must have the same direction of airflow. Otherwise, the switch can overheat and shut down. If you are installing a dual-direction power supply, that module will automatically use the same airflow direction as the other modules in the switch. Cisco Nexus 93120TX NX-OS Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide...
- Page 14 If the switch has port-side exhaust airflow (blue coloring for fan modules), you must locate the ports in the hot aisle. If you locate the air intake in a hot aisle, the switch can overheat and shut down. Cisco Nexus 93120TX NX-OS Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide...
