CHAPTER 1

Overview

•Overview, on page 1

Overview

The Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 switch (N9K-C9336C-FX2) is a 1-RU, fixed-port switch designed for deployment

in data centers. This switch has 36 40/100-Gigabit QSFP28 ports. All of the ports support breakout and

10-Gigabit with a QSA adapter. All of the ports also support 1-Gigabit with a QSA adapter except ports 1-6

and ports 33-36.

To determine how these ports are used and configured, see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Interfaces

Configuration Guide.

To determine which transceivers, adapters, and cables this switch supports, see the Cisco Transceiver Modules

Compatibility Information document.

This switch includes the following user-replaceable components:

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

• Port-side exhaust airflow with blue coloring (NXA-FAN-65CFM-PE)

• Port-side intake airflow with burgundy coloring (NXA-FAN-65CFM-PI)

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

choices:

• 1100-W AC power supply with port-side exhaust airflow (blue coloring) (NXA-PAC-1100W-PE2)

•1100-W AC power supply with port-side intake airflow (burgundy coloring) (NXA-PAC-1100W-PI2)

• 1100-W HVAC/HVDC power supply with port-side exhaust airflow (blue coloring)

(NXA-PHV-1100W-PE)

• 1100-W HVAC/HVDC power supply with port-side intake airflow (burgundy coloring)

(NXA-PHV-1100W-PI)

• 1100-W DC power supply with port-side exhaust airflow (blue coloring) (NXA-PDC-1100W-PE)

•1100-W DC power supply with port-side intake airflow (burgundy coloring) (NXA-PDC-1100W-PI)

Both power supplies should use the same type of power source. Do not mix AC

and DC power sources.

Note

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

operations.

Note
