Cisco Nexus 2224TP
software ships with the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch software. The FEX downloads the software
image from the switch the same way that a module would download it from the supervisor in a modular
chassis.

Chassis
The Cisco Nexus 2224TP chassis has a height of 1.72 inches (4.37 cm), a width of 17.34 inches (44.04
cm), and a depth of 18.9 inches (48.1 cm). It weighs 18 pounds (8.0 kg). Its one-rack-unit (1 RU) form
factor takes up relatively little space, making it easy to incorporate into rack designs. The FEX is
mounted in a standard 19-inch (48.26-cm) rack. It has port side exhaust or port side intake airflow for
cooling. All switch ports are located at the rear of the unit in close proximity to server ports, and all
user-serviceable components are accessible from the fan side.
Figure 1-34 shows the location of the components on the fan side of the chassis, and Figure1-35 shows
the location of components on the rear of the chassis. For information on what the chassis and component
LEDs indicate, see TableE-1 on page E-2.
