Expansion Modules
Expansion modules allow Cisco Nexus 5000 Platform switches to be configured as cost-effective,
10-Gigabit Ethernet switches and as I/O consolidation platforms with native Fibre Channel connectivity. The Cisco Nexus 5010 switch has one slot for an optional uplink Generic Expansion Module (GEM). The following modules can be inserted in this slot: N5K-M1404, N5K-M1600, N5K-M1008 and N5K-M1060.
•N5K-M1404 provides 4 10G SFP+, and 4 Fibre Channel 4-, 2-, or 1-Gbps SFP-based uplink connections. The 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports are encryption capable.
•M5K-M1600 provides 6 10G SFP+ based uplink connections.
•N5K-M1008 provides 8 4-, 2-, or 1-Gbps Fibre Channel, SFP based uplink connection.
•N5K-M1060 provides 6 8-, 4-, 2-, or 1-Gbps line rate Fibre Channel, SFP+ based uplink connections.
The chassis supports hot swapping of the expansion modules.
