Introduction
The SSE-X3648S and SSE-X3648SR switches are the latest generation of 10Gb
Ethernet routing switches from Supermicro. They are based on 10Gb switching
technology and are designed for aggregating connectivity to 40Gb servers in data
centers – or for 40Gb access to backbone networks. Preloaded with Open Networking
Installation Environment (ONIE), they are particularly suitable for use in an Open
Networking environment.
The SSE-X3648S and SSE-X3648SR switches with advanced intelligent and secure
features, can serve ideally as a distribution layer switch for campus networks, enterprise
networks and HP networks; as well as a core layer switch for small to medium-sized
networks.
1-1 Features and Benefits
• Various Interfaces – The SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR switches provide 48 10Gb
SFP+ and 6 40Gb QSFP+ ports. Each QSFP+ port can be split into 4 10Gb SFP+
ports.
• Support 10Gb Ethernet – 10Gb Ethernet adopts full-duplex technology instead of
the half-duplex CSMA/CD protocol. 10Gb Ethernet can be deployed in star or ring
topologies. With 10Gb Ethernet, the SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR switches provide
broad bandwidth and powerful processing capacity. Using the SSE-X3648S/
SSE-X3648SR switches, users can simplify network structures and reduce the
overall cost of building a network.

Back Panel
The SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR switches provides an RJ-45 serial console port in the
rear of the switch. Users perform the local and telnet configuration through this port.
The back panel of the SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR switch also includes two redundant
hot-swappable AC power supply modules, four fans and one rear panel card.
The console port supports asynchronous mode. To set this up just set the data bit as 8,
the stop bit as 1, the parity bit as none, and the default baud rate as 115,200bps.

Cautions:
1. The USB port on the rear panel card only supports data transmission. It does not
support power supply over USB.
2. The rear panel card does not support hot plug.
3. Replacement of the rear panel card must be done by a professional.

1-5 Power Supply Module
460W Power Module
Figure 1-3 shows the power supply module for the SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR switch.
Figure 1-3. 460W Power Supply Module
The SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR switch has two power supply modules, thus providing
redundancy. It provides airflow front to back (SSE-X3648S) or airflow back to front
(SSE-X3648SR).
The maximum power is 460W, while the input is 100VAC~240VAC, and the output is
12V +/- 5%. There is a fan and a handle for inserting or removing the module on the
back of the power supply. The power supply module supports hot-plug replacement.

1-6 Fan Module
Figure 1-4 shows the fan module for the SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR switch.
Figure 1-4. Fan Module
The SSE-X3648S/SSE-X3648SR switch has four fan modules in its standard
configuration. The rotation speed of the fan self-adjusts to adapt to system temperature,
and provides airflow front to back (SSE-X3648S) and airflow back to front
(SSE-X3648SR).
Cautions:
1. Different airflow fan modules cannot be mixed.
2. Airflow for power modules must be the same as that used for fan modules.
