Figure 3-13. N3048 Mini-SAS Stacking Ports Close-up
The term mini-SAS refers to the stacking port cable connections shown in
Figure3-13. See "Managing a Switch Stack" on page 171 for information on
using the mini-SAS ports to connect switches.
Expansion Slots for Plug-in Modules
One expansion slot is located on the back of the N3000 models and can
support the following modules:
•10GBASE-T module
•SFP+ module
Each plug-in module has two ports. The plug-in modules include hot-swap
support, so you do not need to reboot the switch after you install a new
module.
Power Supplies
N3024, N3024F and N3048
N3024 series, N3024F and N3048 switches support two 200-watt Field
Replaceable Unit (FRU) power supplies which give full power redundancy for
the switch. The N3024, N3024F, and N3048 switches offer the V-lock feature
for users desiring the need to eliminate accidental power disconnection. The
V-lock receptacle on the
Power S upp ly Uni t (
PSU) allows for the use of a
power cord that has the V-lock feature to create an integral secure locking
connection.
