  • Page 11: Overview

    Overview, on page 1 Overview The Cisco Nexus 9364C switch (N9K-C9364C) is a 2-rack unit (RU), fixed-port switch designed for Top-of-Rack deployment in data centers. This switch has the following ports: • 64 40-/100-Gigabit QSFP28 interface ports (see the following figure to see how these 64 ports are numbered •...
  • Page 12 All fan modules and power supplies must use the same airflow direction. If you are using the 1200-W HVAC/HVDC power supplies, those power supplies automatically use the same airflow direction as used by the fan modules. Cisco Nexus 9364C NX-OS Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide...
  • Page 13 To determine which transceivers, adapters, and cables are supported by this switch, see the Cisco Transceiver Modules Compatibility Information document. The following figure shows the switch features on the power supply side of the chassis. Cisco Nexus 9364C NX-OS Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide...
  • Page 14 Depending on whether you plan to position the ports in a hot or cold aisle, you can order the fan and power supply modules with port-side intake or port-side exhaust airflow. For port-side intake airflow, the fan and Cisco Nexus 9364C NX-OS Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide...
