Airflow directions

The Cisco 8101-32FH-O-C01 switch supports the Post-Side Intake (PSI) version-2 configuration. In the PSI configuration, the airflow through both the fan trays and power supplies is from the front-side to the rear-side.

Figure 3. Airflow direction for Cisco 8101-32FH-O-C01 switch

To ensure proper airflow for the switch in your facility, position the switch with its air intake on a cold aisle and the air exhaust on a hot aisle.


Note

The airflow direction must be the same for all power supply and fan modules in the switch.

Maximum power available to switch

The maximum power available to the switch depends on these factors:

  • the input power from your power source

  • the number of Power Supply Units (PSUs)

  • the output capabilities of the PSUs

  • the power redundancy mode that you use

The following table lists the amount of power available for Cisco 8100 series switchs from all available power trays.

Note

When the AC power supply unit operates at the line voltage range of 90VAC to 140VAC, the switch does not support 1+1 redundancy mode.
