THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.

THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION PACKET THAT SHIPPED WITH THE PRODUCT AND ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.

You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.

• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.

• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.

• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switches, which include the Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform switches and the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switches. The overview of each of these switches includes information on the expansion modules, power supplies, and fan modules that you can include with them.

This chapter includes the following sections:

• Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform Switches, page 1-1

• Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform Switches, page 1-29

Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform Switches

The Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform supports the following application scenarios, many of which require the installation of other products:

• As an access-layer switch, it can be used purely as a 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch,

consolidating 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections into a smaller number of server connections trunked to the aggregation layer.

CHAPTER

OL-15902-01

• As a smaller-scale aggregation switch, it can be used as a Layer 3 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet switch,

consolidating multiple 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections from a data center access layer.

• In conjunction with the Cisco Nexus 2248T GE Ethernet Fabric Extender, the Cisco Nexus 5500

Platform can be a high-density 1-Gigabit Ethernet switching system, consolidating more than 900 Gigabit Ethernet connections within a single management plane.

• In conjunction with the Cisco Nexus 2232T 10GE Fabric Extender, it can be a high-density

switching system, consolidating more than 600 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections within a single management plane.

• In conjunction with the Cisco Nexus 2224TM 10GE Fabric Extender, it can be a high-density

switching system, consolidating more than 600 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections within a single management plane

• As a rack-level I/O consolidation platform, the switch carries Ethernet traffic from servers to the

aggregation layer and carries FC traffic to existing Fibre Channel SANs.

• As a crucial element in data center I/O consolidation, the switch enables I/O consolidation at the

access layer and provides interoperability with the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform and other standards-based products.

Features

Chassis

The Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch is a top-of-rack, 10-Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre channel over Ethernet (FCoE) switch offering up to 1920 Gigabit throughput and up to 96 ports. The switch has 48 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE ports and three expansion slots. As a top-of-rack switch, all the servers in the rack connect to the Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch, and it connects to the LAN or SAN.

The Cisco Nexus 5596UP switch has the following features:

• 48 fixed 1- and 10-Gigabit Ethernet server connection ports on the back of the switch

• Three slots on the back of the switch for optional expansion modules, which can be either a 16-port

10-Gigabit generic expansion module 2 (GEM2) or a layer 3 GEM2

• Two slots on the front of the switch for hot swap-capable power supplies, which provide

front-to-back airflow for cooling

• Four slots on the front of the switch for hot swap-capable fan modules.

• Layer 2 or Layer 3 I/O modules

• One USB port on the front of the switch

The Cisco Nexus 5596UP chassis is 2 RU or 3.47 inches (8.8 cm) tall, 17.3 inches (43.9 cm) wide, and

29.5 inches (74.9 cm) deep. It is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch wide rack. The front of the switch, shown in Figure 1-1, has a USB port, four Ethernet and ports (two cross-connect ports, one management port, and one console port), two power supplies, and four fan modules.
