Cisco Nexus 2148T

Ports
Each port on the Cisco Nexus 2148T FEX is numbered, and groups of ports are numbered based on their function. The ports are numbered from top to bottom and left to right. Group 1 includes 48 1-Gigabit Ethernet data ports. Group 2 includes four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. Figure 1-38 shows how ports are numbered and grouped by function.

Power Supplies
The Cisco Nexus 2148T FEX uses a fan side 200-W AC power supply that has port-side exhaust airflow. The chassis has two bays for two power supplies. Two power supplies can be used for redundancy, but the Cisco Nexus 2148T FEX is fully functional with one power supply. Figure1-39 shows the power supply with two LEDs: one for power status and one for a failure condition. The power supply is hot-swappable. For details on how to install a power supply, see the “Removing and Installing Power Supplies” section on page4-16.

If one power supply is installed in the chassis, but the other power supply slot is empty, you should use a blank filler panel to cover the empty slot. Figure1-40 shows a blank power supply filler panel.
