Cisco 8100 Series Routers

The Cisco 8100 Series Routers utilizes Cisco’s new Router-on-Chip (RoC) model to deliver full routing

functionality with a single ASIC per router. The RoC architecture is distinguished from System-on-Chip (SoC)

switches by supporting large forwarding tables, deep buffers, more flexible packet operations, and enhanced

programmability.

The Cisco 8100 series routers include the following variants:

•Cisco 8102-64H - It provides 6.4 Tbps of network bandwidth with dramatically lower power consumption

than contemporary 10 Tbps systems. The Cisco 8102 Router is a fixed port, high density, two rack unit

form-factor router. Supported ports include 64 x 100G QSFP28.

• Cisco 8102-64H-O - It provides 6.4 Tbps of network bandwidth with dramatically lower power

consumption than contemporary 10 Tbps systems. The Cisco 8102 Router is a fixed port, high density,

two rack unit form-factor router. Supported ports include 64 x 100G QSFP28. The Cisco 8102-64H-O

supports the open-source network operating system SONiC (Software for Open Networking in the Cloud).

• Cisco 8101-32FH - It provides 12.8Tbps of network bandwidth. The Cisco 8101-32FH Router is a fixed

port, high density, one rack unit form-factor router. Supported ports include 32 x 400G QSFP-DD. The

functionality and installation of this router is similar to that of Cisco 8201-32FH. The Hardware Installation

Guide for Cisco 8201-32FH is available here.

Field Replaceable Units

The router has two field replaceable units (FRUs):

• Power Supply Unit

Both the FRUs support OIR (Online Insertion and Removal).

Fan Module

The router has three latched fan modules that installs into the chassis from the rear. Fans cool the system and

maintain proper airflow through the system. The fan modules work with N+1 redundancy.

Power Supply Unit

The router has two PSUs that install into the chassis from the rear. The PSUs work with 1+1 redundancy and

the router supports two AC or two power supplies. The PSUs can be:

• AC to DC type - 650W

• DC to DC type - 930W

The PSUs provide 12V power to the entire system.

SSD Card

The router has a removable Solid State Drive (SSD) card. We recommend to remove the SDD card before

shipping the hardware for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) request. Removal of the SSD card

enforces customer data security while performing an RMA.

You can access the SSD card by using the hatch provided on the top panel. To remove the SSD card, follow

the instructions mentioned on the printed label on the hatch.
