Page 11: Overview
Overview, page 1 Overview The Cisco Nexus 9372TX (N9K-C9372TX) and 9372TX-E (N9K-C9372TX-E) switches are 1-rack unit (RU) switches that support 48 10GBASE-T downlink ports (supporting 100-Megabit, 1-Gigabit, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet) and six 40-Gigabit QSFP+ uplink ports (supporting 10-Gigabit and 40-Gigabit Ethernet). These switches also have a 100/1000 network management port, an RS-232 console port for setting the initial switch configuration, and two USB ports for saving or loading switch configurations. - Page 12 To determine which transceivers, adapters, and cables are supported by this switch, see the Cisco Transceiver Modules Compatibility Information document. The following figure shows the switch features on the power supply side of the chassis. Cisco Nexus 9372TX and 9372TX-E NX-OS Mode Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
- Page 13 If the switch has port-side exhaust airflow (blue coloring for fan modules), you must locate the ports in the hot aisle. If you locate the air intake in a hot aisle, the switch can overheat and shut down. Cisco Nexus 9372TX and 9372TX-E NX-OS Mode Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
