The Cisco Nexus 93128TX switch (N9K-C93128TX) is a 3-RU, fixed-port switch designed for spine-leaf-APIC deployment in data centers. This switch has 96 fixed 1/10GBASE-T (copper) ports for APIC connections and 12 fixed 40-Gigabit QSFP+ (optical) ports (of which you can use 8 ports) provided through an uplink module for connections to spine switches. The chassis for this switch includes the following user-replaceable components:
Fan trays (three—two for operations and one for redundancy [2+1]) with the following airflow choices:
1200-W AC Power supplies (two—one for operations and one for redundancy [1+1]) with the following airflow choices:
