Chapter1 Using a Fabric Extender with a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series or Cisco Nexus 6000 Series Switch
Cisco Nexus 2248PQ
Figure 1-23 on page1-20 shows an AC power supply with port-side exhaust airflow. Figure 1-24 on
page 1-21 shows an AC power supply with port-side intake airflow. Figure1-25 on page 1-21 shows a
DC power supply with port-side exhaust airflow.
You can order the Cisco Nexus 2248PQ FEX with AC power supplies that have port-side exhaust or
port-side intake airflow for cooling or DC power supplies that have port-side exhaust airflow. The
port-side intake airflow components have a black stripe on their fan side surface for easy visual
identification. The port-side exhaust airflow components do not have a black stripe.
Table1-5 on page 1-19 lists the power supplies that you can order with the Cisco Nexus 2200 and Cisco
Nexus 2300 Platform FEXs.
Caution Be sure that all of the power supply and fan tray modules in the same chassis have the same airflow
direction and that the air intake for those modules is positioned on a cool aisle. If you install a module
that uses a different direction of airflow from the other modules in your system, you will see an error
message. If you position a chassis with its modules taking cooling air from a warm aisle, the switch can
over heat and shut down.
If one power supply is installed in the chassis, but the other power supply slot is empty, you should use
a blank filler panel (N2200-P-BLNK) to cover the empty slot. Figure 1-26 on page 1-22 shows a blank
power supply filler panel.
For power supply specifications, see “Power Specifications”. To replace a power supply, see the
“Removing and Installing Power Supplies” section on page4-16.
Caution Hot swapping of different direction fans and power supplies is not supported.
Fan Trays
The Cisco Nexus 2248PQ FEX has one fan tray that is hot swappable during operations. Depending on
whether there is a cold aisle in the fan side or port side of the chassis, you can order port side exhaust
airflow or port side intake airflow for the fan tray and the power supplies in the same chassis. Table 1-8
lists the part numbers for each of the fan trays that you can use with this chassis.
