CISCO Nexus switch N3K-C3524P-10GX Nexus 3524x, 24 10G Ports
Cis co Nexus 3548-XL and 3524-XL Switches
The Cis co Nexus 3548-XL and 3524-XL Switches are, respectively, Cis co Nexus 3548-X and 3524-X Switches with a faster CPU, running at 2.5 GHz; system memory increased to 16 GB; and bootflash memory increased to 16 GB. These enhancements allow the switches to support the Cis co NX-OS Data Management Engine (DME) model.
Cis co Nexus 3548-XL and 3524-XL Switch
The Cis co Nexus 3548-XL and 3524-XL have the following hardware configuration:
* 48 fixed SFP+ ports (1 or 10 Gbps); the Cis co Nexus 3524-XL enables only 24 ports
* Dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies
* Four individual redundant hot-swappable fans
* One 1-PPS timing port, with the RF1.0 and 2.3 QuickConnect connector type
* One 10/100/1000 management port
* One RS-232 serial console port
* Two USB ports
* Locator LED
* Locator LED button
Support for both port-side exhaust and port-side intake airflow schemes is available.Port-side exhaust airflow is useful when the port side of the switch sits on a hot aisle and the power supply side sits on a cold aisle.Port-side intake airflow is useful when the power supply side of the switch sits on a hot aisle and the port side sits on a cold aisle.
Colored handles on each fan or power supply clearly indicate the airflow direction, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
