• Power supply slot

  The CloudEngine 8800, 7800, 6800, and 5800 series switches (except the CE8850-64CQ-EI) have two power supply slots, in which power modules can be installed to provide power to the chassis. A chassis can have one or two power modules. Double power modules can provide higher reliability.

  The CloudEngine 8800, 7800, 6800, and 5800 series switches (except the CE8850-64CQ-EI) support double power modules (1+1 backup).

  • When both power modules are working properly, they equally provide power for a chassis.
  • When one power module fails, the other one provides all power required for a chassis.

  All power modules are hot swappable.

• Fan slot

  The CloudEngine 8800, 7800, 6800, and 5800 series switches (except the CE8850-64CQ-EI, CE6863-48S6CQ, CE6881-48S6CQ, CE6820-48S6CQ, CE6863-48S6CQ-K, CE6881-48S6CQ-K, CE6881E-48S6CQ and CE6857-48S6CQ-EI) have two fan slots, in which fan modules can be installed to cool the chassis, ensuring efficient heat dissipation and system stability. A chassis must have two working fan modules to ensure normal operating.

  All fan modules are hot swappable.

The cooling systems of the CloudEngine 8800, 7800, 6800, and 5800 series switches have front-to-back or back-to-front airflow depending on the airflow direction of the power modules and fan modules used. The airflow direction of the power modules and fan modules required on the CloudEngine 8800, 7800, 6800, and 5800 series switches depends on how the switches are installed in cabinets. Typically, cabinets in a data center have cold air flowing in from the front and hot air exhausted from the back. If CloudEngine 8800, 7800, 6800, and 5800 series switches are installed with the power supply side facing the front, you are advised to use fan modules and power modules with front-to-back airflow in the switches.

A 10GE SFP+ Ethernet optical port supports auto-sensing to 1 Gbit/s, and can receive and send services at a rate of 1000 Mbit/s or 10 Gbit/s. Table 2-171 describes the attributes of a 10GE SFP+ Ethernet optical port.

A 40GE QSFP+ Ethernet optical port receives and sends services at the rate of 40 Gbit/s. If a 40GE QSFP+ Ethernet optical port is split into four 10GE ports, it must use 1-to-4 QSFP+ optical modules and optical fibers or 1-to-4 QSFP+ cables. Table 2-172 describes the attributes of a 40GE QSFP+ Ethernet optical port.

The console port is connected to a console for onsite configuration. The port must use a console cable. Table 2-173 describes the attributes of the console port.

The ETH management port (RJ45) of a switch is connected to the network port of a configuration terminal or network management workstation to set up the onsite or remote configuration environment. The ETH management port (RJ45) uses a Category 5 or higher category cable. Table 2-174 describes the attributes of the ETH management port (RJ45).
