Chassis for the Cisco Nexus 3064 Switch
The 1-RU Cisco Nexus 3064 chassis (part number N3K-C3064PQ-10GE or N3K-C3064PQ-10GX) is
1.72 inches (4.37 cm) high, 17.3 inches (43.9 cm) wide, and 19.7 inches (45.0 cm) deep. This switch is
designed for 19-inch (48.3 cm) racks. Its switch ports are at the rear of the chassis in close proximity to
server ports, and the power supplies and fan tray modules are accessible from the front for easy
replacement. You can order this switch with forward or reverse airflow depending on whether the front
of the switch is in a cold aisle (forward airflow) or in a hot aisle (reverse airflow). You can also order the
switch with AC or DC power supplies.
Fully populated with two power supplies and a fan tray, the switch weighs 20.5 pounds (9.3 kg) and can
be easily installed by one or two people.
