Overview
The Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FX3 switch (N9K-C9348GC-FX3) is a 1-RU fixed-port, L2/L3 switch, designed
for deployment in data centers. This switch has 48 10/100/1000M copper RJ45 downlink ports, 4 10-/25G
SFP28 uplink ports, and 2 40-/100G QSFP28 uplink ports.
This switch includes the following user-replaceable components:
• Fan modules (three) with the following airflow choices:
• Port-side intake airflow with burgundy coloring (NXA-SFAN-30CFM-PI)
• Port-side exhaust airflow with blue coloring (NXA-SFAN-30CFM-PE)
This switch will power down due to a fan-policy trigger if fewer than 2 fans are
operational.
