Overview
Thank you for choosing the ECS5610-52S switch system. This switch is built with
leading-edge technology to deliver reliable high-performance connectivity for
your data network.
The ECS5610-52S switch is a high-performance top-of-rack switch, designed for
data center operating environments. The switch provides 48 10G Ethernet Small
Form Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) transceiver slots, and four 40G Quad-SFP+
(QSFP+) ports. The switch also includes replaceable dual power supply units and a
fan tray module.
The switch supports a full set of Layer 2 switching, data center bridging, and Layer 3
routing features. The switch can be deployed as a top-of-rack (TOR) or distributed
spine switch to form a network fabric that can reduce infrastructure expenses and
power consumption in the data center. This network fabric can be used to
interconnect tens of thousands of servers delivering cloud computing services.
The switch also offers an option of front-to-back (F2B) or back-to-front (B2F) airflow
cooling for rack deployment with either blade servers or other switches, allowing
cool aisles to be maintained without creating “hot loops.”
