Overview

•Overview, on page 1

Overview

The Cisco Nexus 9348D-GX2A switch (N9K-C9348D-GX2A) is a 2-rack unit (RU), fixed-port switch designed

for spine-leaf-APIC deployment in data centers.

This switch includes the following ports:

• 400-Gigabit QSFP-DD ports (48)

• 10-Gigabit SFP+ ports (2)

• Management ports (one RJ-45 port and one SFP port)

• Console port

• USB port

Dust covers (NXA-ACC-QDD-DC) are suggested for unused ports, to protect the connectors and help

divert airflow for thermal dispensation.

Note

Default switch role and default port-profile information for this switch:

• The default switch role: 48 x 400/100/40G + 2 x 1/10G as ACI leaf or ACI Spine (default)

• Default port profile (Leaf): 36 downlinks and 12 fabric links + 2x1/10G downlinks

This switch includes the following high power optics and MACsec:

• Up to 48 ports of MACsec with 24 ports of 20-W optics

Cisco Nexus 9348D-GX2A ACI-Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide

For this switch, 24 ports of 20-W optics, and 48 ports of MACsec, can be

supported either individually or together. And this 24 ports of 20-W optics

can go in the following 24 ports only: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33,

36, 39, 42, 45, 48, 26, 29, 32, 35, 38, 41, and 47.

Note

This switch includes the following user-replaceable components:

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

• Port-side intake fan module with burgundy coloring (NXA-FAN-160CFM-PI)

If a fan fails, the other fans are automatically increased to 100% capacity

to compensate. If two fans fail, then multi fan failure policy kicks in, the

switch will issue a warning, and power down in 2 minutes.

Note

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

choices:

• 3200-W port-side intake AC/HVDC power supply with burgundy coloring (NXA-PAC-3200W-PI)

• 3200-W port-side intake DC/HVDC power supply with burgundy coloring (NXA-PDC-3200W-PI)

Both power supplies are the same type. Do not mix AC, and DC, power

supplies.

Note

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

Overview

Grounding pad1

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. If you are installing a dual-direction power supply, that module automatically

uses the same airflow direction as the other modules in the switch.

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.
