Chassis for the Cisco Nexus 3016 Switch
The 1-RU Cisco Nexus 3016 chassis (part number N3K-C3016-40GE) is 1.72 inches (4.37 cm) high,
17.3 inches (43.9 cm) wide, and 19.7 inches (50.8 cm) deep. This switch is designed for 19-inch (48.3
cm) racks. Its switch ports are at the rear of the chassis in close proximity to server ports, and the power
supplies and fan tray modules are accessible from the front for easy replacement. You can order this
switch with forward airflow or reverse airflow depending on whether the front of the switch is on a cold
aisle (forward airflow) or on a hot aisle (reverse airflow).
Fully populated with two power supplies and a fan tray, the switch weighs 20.5 pounds (9.3 kg) and can
be easily installed by one or two people.
Figure 1-1 shows the front of the Cisco Nexus 3016 chassis and identifies the components that you use
to install and connect the chassis. Figure 1-2 shows the rear of the chassis and identifies the components
that you use to install and connect the chassis.

Ports for the Cisco Nexus 3016 Switch
The Cisco Nexus 3016 switch chassis includes the following ports:
•40-Gigabit Ethernet uplink or downlink ports (16 ports)
•100/1000 Ethernet management ports (2 ports)
•Console port (1 port)
•USB port (1 port)
The chassis has 16 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports that you can connect to hosts (uplink connections) or
servers (downlink connections), which are often in the same rack or a nearby rack. Each of these ports
uses a QSFP+ transceiver which is connected to one or four optical or copper cables. If one cable is used,
it has a QSFP+ transceiver on the other end. If four cables are used, each of those cables has an SFP+
transceiver on the other end. The ports are numbered from left to right from 1 to 16 with the
odd-numbered ports on top and the even-numbered ports on the bottom.
Two 100/1000 Ethernet management ports enable you to manage switch operations. You can connect to
the switch through these two ports by using an RJ-45 connector on a copper cable.
One console port enables you to initially configure the switch and to perform troubleshooting operations.
You use an RJ-45 connector with a copper cable to connect to this port.
One USB port enables you to save or load switch configurations.

Power Supply for the Cisco Nexus 3016 Switch
The Cisco Nexus 3000 Series switch has two slots for power supplies that are initially installed with one
or two AC or DC power supplies that have forward or reverse airflow for their cooling. The switch
requires only one power supply for its operations, but you can include a second one for redundancy.
To determine which part number to use when ordering replacement power supplies, see Tab le 1-2.
Ta b l e 1-2Cisco Nexus 3016 Power Supply Part Numbers

ACReverseN2200-PAC-400W-B=
DCForwardN2200-PDC-400W=
DCReverseN3K-PDC-350W-B=
If the chassis has two power supplies, you can hot swap one of the power supplies during operations. If
the chassis has only one power supply, you can install the new power supply in the open slot, turn on that
power supply, and then remove the original power supply during operations.
CautionYou can order replacement power supplies with forward airflow or reverse airflow. Be sure to order the
same direction of airflow as is used with the switch. If there is a black stripe across the front of the fan
trays and power supplies, the switch is running reverse airflow and you must order power supplies with
reverse airflow (each module has a black stripe). If there is no black stripe across the front of these
modules, the switch is running forward airflow and you must order replacement modules with forward
airflow (modules that do not have a black stripe).
CautionThe switch must run with all of its power supply and fan tray modules taking in air from a cold aisle and
exhausting air to the hot aisle. If they take in air from a hot aisle, an overtemperature condition can occur
and the switch will shut down. If the airflow directions are mixed in the same switch, you will see an
error.
NoteNever leave a power supply slot empty. If you remove a power supply, replace it with another one. If you
do not have a replacement power supply, leave the non functioning one in place until you can replace it
or fill the slot with a filler blank module (part number N2200-P-BLNK).
For power supply specifications, see the “Power Specifications” section on page B-2. For information
about the power supply LEDs and what they indicate, see the “Power Supply Status” section on
page D-3.

Fan Tray for the Cisco Nexus 3016 Switch
The Cisco Nexus 3016 switch ships with one fan tray, which is the same fan tray used by the Cisco Nexus
3064 switch (part number N3K-C3064-FAN for forward airflow or N3K-C3064-FAN-B for reverse
airflow). You can hot swap the fan tray during operations but must replace it within two minutes or the
switch can reach an overtemperature condition and shut down.
CautionYou can order a replacement fan tray with forward airflow or reverse airflow. Be sure to order the same
direction of airflow as is used with the switch. If there is a black stripe across the front of the fan trays
and power supplies, the switch is running reverse airflow and you must order a fan tray with reverse
airflow. If there is no black stripe across the front of these modules, the switch has forward airflow and
you must order replacement modules with forward airflow.
CautionThe switch must run with all of its power supply and fan tray modules taking in air from a cold aisle and
exhausting air to the hot aisle. If they take in air from a hot aisle, an overtemperature condition can occur
and the switch will shut down. If the airflow directions are mixed in the same switch, you will see an
error.
Port Connections for the Cisco Nexus 3016 Switch
You use QSFP+ transceivers with the 16 networking ports used for uplinking and downlinking. For
low-cost connections to switches in the same or adjacent racks, use QSFP+ transceivers with copper
cables. For long distance connections, use the QSFP transceivers connected to optical cables.
Tabl e 1-3 describes the QSFP+ transceivers and cable connections that you can use with the 16 ports
used for uplinks and downlinks.

•10/100/1000 Ethernet downlink ports (48 ports)
•1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports
•100/1000 Ethernet management ports (2 ports)
•Console port (1 port)
•USB port (1 port)
The chassis has 48 10/100/1000 Ethernet downlink ports that you connect to servers, which are often in
the same rack or a nearby rack. You use RJ-45 connectors with copper cables to connect the switch to
the servers. The ports are numbered from left to right from 1 to 48 with the odd-numbered ports on top
and the even-numbered ports on the bottom.
You use up to four 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports to connect the switch to one to four hosts or
switches. You use an SFP or SFP+ transceiver for each of these ports.
Two 100/1000 Ethernet management ports enable you to manage switch operations. You can connect to
the switch through these two ports by using an RJ-45 connector on a copper cable.
One console port enables you to initially configure the switch and to perform troubleshooting operations.
You use an RJ-45 connector with a copper cable to connect to this port.

Power Supply for the Cisco Nexus 3048 Switch
The Cisco Nexus 3000 Series switch has two slots for power supplies that are initially installed with one
or two AC or DC power supplies that have forward or reverse airflow for their cooling. The switch
requires only one power supply for its operations, but you can include a second one for redundancy.
To determine which part number to use when ordering replacement power supplies, see Tab le 1-5.
Ta b l e 1-5Cisco Nexus 3048 Power Supply Part Numbers
Power SourceAirflow DirectionPower Supply Part Number
ACForwardN2200-PAC-400W=
ACReverseN2200-PAC-400W-B=
DCForwardN2200-PDC-400W=
DCReverseN3K-PDC-350W-B=
If the chassis has two power supplies, you can hot swap one of the power supplies during operations. If
the chassis has only one power supply, you can install the new power supply in the open slot, turn on that
power supply, and then remove the original power supply during operations.
CautionYou can order replacement power supplies with front-to-back airflow or back-to-front airflow. Be sure
to order the same direction of airflow as is used with the switch. If there is a black stripe across the front
of the fan trays and power supplies, the switch is running back-to-front airflow and you must order power
supplies with back-to-front airflow. If there is no black stripe across the front of these modules, the
switch is running front-to-back airflow and you must order replacement modules with front-to-back
airflow.
CautionThe switch must run with all of its power supply and fan tray modules taking in air from a cold aisle and
exhausting air to the hot aisle. If they take in air from a hot aisle, an overtemperature condition can occur
and the switch will shut down. If the airflow directions are mixed in the same switch, you will see an
error.
NoteNever leave a power supply slot empty. If you remove a power supply, replace it with another one. If you
do not have a replacement power supply, leave the non functioning one in place until you can replace it
or fill the slot with a filler blank module (part number N2200-P-BLNK).
For power supply specifications, see the “Power Specifications” section on page B-2. For information
about the power supply LEDs and what they indicate, see the “Power Supply Status” section on
page D-3.

Fan Tray for the Cisco Nexus 3048 Switch
The Cisco Nexus 3048 switch ships with one fan tray, which provides forward airflow from the fan tray
to the port connector end exhaust (spares part number N3K-C3048-FAN=) or reverse airflow from the
port connectors end of the chassis to the fan tray for exhaust (spares part number N3K-C3048-FAN-B).
You can hot swap the fan tray during operations but must replace it within two minutes or the switch can
reach an overtemperature condition and shut down.
CautionYou can order a replacement fan tray with forward airflow or reverse airflow. Be sure to order the same
direction of airflow that is used with the switch. If there is a black stripe across the front of the fan trays
and power supplies, the switch is running reverse airflow and you must order a fan tray with reverse
airflow. If there is no black stripe across the front of these modules, the switch has forward airflow and
you must order replacement modules with forward airflow.
CautionThe switch must run with all of its power supply and fan tray modules taking in air from a cold aisle and
exhausting air to the hot aisle. If they take in air from a hot aisle, an overtemperature condition can occur
and the switch will shut down. If the airflow directions are mixed in the same switch, you will see an
error.
Port Connections for the Cisco Nexus 3048 Switch
You use RJ-45 connectors with copper cables for the downlink ports, management ports, and console
port, and you use SFP or SFP+ transceivers for the uplink ports.
The 4 uplink ports support SFP and SFP+ transceivers that are either connected to copper cables or can
