Power and Cooling Requirements for N2K-C2232PF
The Cisco Nexus 2232PP Fabric Extender Module, also known as the N2K-C2232PF, requires both power and cooling to operate properly. Here are the power and cooling requirements for this module:
Power Requirements:
- The module requires dual power supplies, each rated at 100-240V AC and 50-60 Hz. Each power supply should be connected to a separate power source for redundancy.
- The module consumes a maximum of 325 watts when all ports are fully utilized.
Cooling Requirements:
- The module requires front-to-back cooling. The air intake is from the front of the chassis, and the exhaust is from the back of the chassis.
- The module should be installed in a chassis that provides adequate airflow and cooling. The chassis should be designed to support the N2K-C2232PF module, and it should have sufficient fans to maintain the required airflow.
- The ambient temperature should be within the range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) for the module to operate properly.
Compatibility with Cisco Nexus Switches
The N2K-C2232PF is a Cisco Nexus 2232PP Fabric Extender Module that provides 32 ports of 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It is designed to be used with Cisco Nexus switches and is compatible with the Cisco Nexus 2000 series.
To ensure compatibility, you should verify that your Cisco Nexus switch is compatible with the N2K-C2232PF. You should also check that the firmware on the switch is up to date, as well as the firmware on the Fabric Extender Module itself.
Additionally, you should verify that the cabling between the switch and the Fabric Extender Module is correct and meets the necessary specifications. This typically involves using Twinax copper cables or fiber optic cables, depending on the specific configuration.
