Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E FEX
You can order the Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E FEX with port-side exhaust or port-side intake airflow and
with AC or DC power supplies. If you are going to install the port side in a hot aisle, then order
port-side-exhaust airflow for all of the fan trays and power supplies. If you are going to install the port
side in the cold aisle, order port-side-intake airflow for all of the fan trays and power supplies.
Note For visual identification, port-side-intake airflow power supplies and fan trays have a black stripe across
their front, and port-side-exhaust airflow modules do not have a black stripe across their front. All of the
power supplies and fan trays must have the same direction of airflow for the components to properly
function (all of these components must either have a black stripe or all of the components must not have
a black stripe).
The front of the Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E FEX chassis has one or two power supplies, a fan tray, and two
chassis LEDs as shown in Figure3-1. This FEX model requires one power supply, but if you want power
redundancy, you must install a second power supply.
