Power Supplies
The Cisco Nexus 5010 switch uses a front-end power supply with front to back airflow. The chassis has
slots for two power supplies. Two power supplies can be used for redundancy, but the Cisco Nexus 5010
switch is fully functional with one power supply. Figure1-55 shows the power supply, which has two
LEDs: one for power status and one for failure condition.
