Page 11: Overview
Overview, on page 1 Overview The Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP-B1 switch (N9K-C9348GC-FXP-B1) is a 1-RU fixed-port, L2/L3 switch, designed for ACI deployments. This switch has 48 10/100/1000-Megabit 1GBASE-T host ports that support Power over Ethernet (PoE), 4 1/10-/25-Gigabit SFP28 host ports, and 2 40-/100-Gigabit QSFP28 uplink ports. - Page 12 To determine which transceivers, adapters, and cables this switch supports, 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 9348GC-FXP-B1 ACI-Mode Hardware Installation Guide...

Page 15: Preparing The Site
This switch is rated to operate at altitudes from 0 to 13,123 feet (0 to 4,000 meters) . If you operate this switch at a higher altitude (low pressure), the efficiency of forced and convection cooling is reduced and can result Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP-B1 ACI-Mode Hardware Installation Guide... -
Page 16: Dust And Particulate Requirements
The wiring is unlikely to emit radio interference if you use a twisted-pair cable with a good distribution of grounding conductors. If you exceed the recommended distances, use a high-quality twisted-pair cable with one ground conductor for each data signal when applicable.

Page 17: Shock And Vibration Requirements
Typically, this switch and a power supply require about 200 W of power input from the power source, but you must provision as much as 443 W power input from the power source to cover peak demand. Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP-B1 ACI-Mode Hardware Installation Guide... -
Page 18: Airflow Requirements
The switch is positioned with its ports in either the front or the rear of the rack depending on your cabling and maintenance requirements. You must have fan and power supply modules that move the coolant air from the cold aisle to the hot aisle in one of the following ways: Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP-B1 ACI-Mode Hardware Installation Guide... -
Page 19: Rack And Cabinet Requirements
Work with your cabinet vendors to determine which of their cabinets meet the following requirements or see the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for recommendations: • Use a standard 19-inch (48.3-cm), four-post Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) cabinet or rack with mounting rails that conform to English universal hole spacing per section 1 of the ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992 standard. -

Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by at least 3.3 feet (1 meter), we recommend that you shield any potential noise sources by housing them in a grounded metallic conduit. -
Page 41: Connecting Leaf Switches To Apics
Connecting Leaf Switches to APICs You must downlink one or two (recommended for redundancy) Cisco Nexus 9300 platform ACI-mode leaf switches to each Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) in your ACI fabric. The type of virtual interface card (VIC) installed on the APIC determines the types of interface cables that you can use to connect the leaf switches to the APICs. -
Page 42: Connecting Leaf Switches To Spine Switches
Connect the other end of the interface cable to a downlink port on a leaf switch. • For a Cisco 10GBASE-LR or -SR transceiver and cable, insert the transceiver into a downlink optical port on a leaf switch before connecting the cable to the transceiver. - Page 43 • If there are modular switches in the fabric, their ACI-mode line cards must already be installed. The line cards can be of the following types: • 36-port 40-Gigabit (such as: N9K-X9736PQ) • 32-port 100-Gigabit (such as: N9K-X9732C-EX) (supported by Cisco Nexus 9504 and 9508 modular switches) • 36-port 100-Gigabit (such as: N9K-X9736C-FX) Note You cannot include NX-OS line cards in the same chassis when running in ACI mode.
