Component Power Requirements and Heat Dissipation
Consider heat dissipation when sizing the air-conditioning requirements for an installation. The power and
heat associated with a IBM SAN48C-6 32 Gbps 48 Port Fibre Channel Switch varies based on the
following considerations:
• The environment (temperature) outside the chassis
• Internal chassis temperature
• Any hardware component failure in the chassis
• Average switching trafc levels
The following table lists the power requirements and heat dissipation for the components of the IBM
SAN48C-6 32 Gbps 48 Port Fibre Channel Switch.

Transceiver Specications
IBM provided transceivers support 850 to 1610 nm nominal wavelengths, depending upon the
transceiver.
For the list of supported transceivers, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Series Compatibility Matrix.
For details about transceivers see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Pluggable Transceivers Data Sheet.
For information about safety, regulatory, and standards compliance, see the Regulatory Compliance and
Safety Information for the Cisco MDS 9000 Family.
