Power Supply

The Cisco Nexus 5596T uses a front-end power supply. The chassis has slots for two power supplies. The Cisco Nexus 5596T switch is fully functional with one power supply, but you can include a second power supply for power redundancy.

Table 1-1lists the power supplies that you can order with the Cisco Nexus 5500 Platform switches.

Note Front to Back (FAF) Airflow and DC Power Supply is now supported for the Cisco Nexus 5596T. For details see the Cisco Nexus 5500 Datasheet.

Figure 1-8 , Figure 1-9, Figure 1-10, Figure 1-11show the power supplies that can be ordered with the Cisco Nexus 5500 switches. For more information on the LEDs, see Table D-1 on page D-2.

Note Never leave a power supply slot empty. If you remove a power supply, replace it with another one. If you do not have a replacement power supply, leave the non functioning one in place until you can replace it.

Fan Module

The Cisco Nexus 5596T switch has four fan modules. Although the switch can function when a fan stops functioning within a fan module, if a whole fan module stops functioning, you must replace the fan module. The Cisco Nexus 5596T supports the reverse air flow fan tray (N5596UP-FAN-B).

Transceivers

The Cisco Nexus 5596T switch supports both SFP and SFP+ Ethernet transceivers and SFP Fibre Channel transceivers.

SFP+ Transceivers

The enhanced SFP+ 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceiver module is a bidirectional device with a transmitter and receiver in the same physical package. It has a 20-pin connector on the electrical interface and duplex LC connector on the optical interface.
