Overview

Overview

The Cisco Nexus 93108TC-FX3P switch (N9K-C93108TC-FX3P, N9K-C93108TC-FX3H) is a 1-rack unit

(RU), fixed-port switch designed for spine-leaf-APIC deployment in data centers. PoE is supported on ports

1-48. This switch supports the following ports:

• 48 100M/1/2.5/5/10GBASE-T ports (ports 1-48).

• 6 40/100-Gigabit ports QSFP28 (ports 49-54)

• Two management ports (one 10/100/1000BASE-T port and one SFP port)

• One console port (RS-232)

• 1 USB port

This switch includes the following user-replaceable components:

• Fan modules (four) with the following airflow choices:

• Port-side exhaust fan module with blue coloring (NXA-FAN-35CFM-PE)

• Port-side intake fan module with burgundy coloring (NXA-FAN-35CFM-PI)

Note

Cisco Nexus 93108TC-FX3P ACI-Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide

Each fan module has two rotors. The switch can function normally if one rotor

inside the any one fan module fails. In case of more than one rotor failure, the

switch will issue a warning and power down in 2 minute.

Note

This switch runs with +1 redundancy mode, so that if one fan fails, the switch

can sustain operation. But if a 2nd fan fails, this switch is not designed to sustain

operation. Hence before waiting for major threshold temperature to be hit, the

switch will power down due to Powered-down due to fan policy trigger.

Note

• Power supply modules (two—One for operations and one for redundancy [1+1]) with the following

choices:

• 715-W port-side intake DC power supply with blue coloring (NXA-PDC-715W-PI)

• 1100-W port-side exhaust AC power supply with blue coloring (NXA-PAC-1100W-PE)

• 1100-W port-side intake AC power supply with burgundy coloring (NXA-PAC-1100W-PI)

• 1900-W port-side intake AC power supply with burgundy coloring (NXA-PAC-1900W-PI)

The NXA-PDC-715W-PI power supply is only supported from Release 6.0.4 and

later.

Additional limitations when using the NXA-PDC-715W-PI power supply include

the following:

• SNMP query is not supported

• Power statistics and power redundancy policy are not supported

•show environment power command is not supported

• APIC display is not supported

• Syslog and faults are not supported and can be ignored

Note

All fan modules and power supplies must use the same airflow direction.

Note

The details of the 1900-W power supply (NXA-PAC-1900W-PI) will not display

in the CLI show commands, until a working power source is connected to the

power supply.

Overview

This switch may present access issues if installed between switches with greater

chassis depth. Please consider this before installation.

Depending on whether you plan to position the ports in a hot or cold aisle, you can order the fan and power

supply modules with port-side intake or port-side exhaust airflow. For port-side intake airflow, the fan and

power supplies have burgundy coloring. For port-side exhaust airflow, the fan and power supplies have blue

coloring.

The fan and power supply modules are field replaceable. You can replace one fan module or one power supply

module during operations so long as the other modules are installed and operating. If you have only one power

supply installed, you can install the replacement power supply in the open slot before removing the original

power supply.

All fan and power supply modules must have the same direction of airflow. Otherwise, the switch can overheat

and shut down.

Note

If the switch has port-side intake airflow (burgundy coloring for fan modules), you must locate the ports in

the cold aisle. 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.
