Frequently Asked Questions
What Catalyst 9500 models is the C9K-T1-FANTRAY compatible with?
The C9K-T1-FANTRAY is compatible with Catalyst 9500 models including the C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C, and C9500-24Y4C, supporting a maximum of 4 fans per configuration. This front-to-back cooling fan tray is specifically designed for these switch models and is not compatible with C9500-32C or C9500-16X platforms, which use the FAN-T4-R fan tray instead. Contact us today to verify compatibility with your specific switch configuration.
What is the power output specification for the Cisco C9K-PWR-650WAC-R power supply?
The Cisco C9K-PWR-650WAC-R is a 650W AC power supply designed for front-to-back cooling configuration. This unit provides reliable power delivery for Catalyst 9500 series switches and supports a 54V output at 11.1A with a minimum 20ms output holdup time at 100 VAC, ensuring stable operation during power fluctuations.
What are the specifications of the Dell 400-AEFW drive?
The Dell 400-AEFW is a 1.20 TB hard drive with a 3.5" internal form factor, operating at 10,000 RPM with a 6Gb/s SAS interface. This enterprise-grade drive is designed for high-performance storage applications requiring fast data access and reliable operation in server and storage environments.
Is the C9K-PWR-650WAC-R compatible with redundant power configurations?
Yes, Cisco offers redundant versions of the 650W AC power supply, including the C9K-PWR-650WAC-R/2 model for redundant setups. We have these redundant power supply options available from us to ensure maximum uptime and fault tolerance in your network infrastructure.
How many fans does the C9K-T1-FANTRAY support?
The C9K-T1-FANTRAY supports a maximum of 4 independently controlled fans, depending on the Catalyst 9500 model. Each fan can operate independently, so if a single fan fails, the system will continue to operate without significant degradation in cooling performance. Visit barcodesinc.com to order replacement fan trays for your Catalyst 9500 deployment.
Is the Dell 400-AEFW compatible with my server?
The Dell 400-AEFW uses the industry-standard SAS (6Gb/s) interface, making it compatible with most enterprise servers and storage systems that support SAS drives. We recommend verifying your system's drive bay specifications and controller support before ordering. Contact us today to confirm compatibility with your specific hardware configuration.
What input voltage range does the Cisco C9K-PWR-650WAC-R support?
The C9K-PWR-650WAC-R accepts standard AC input voltage between 100-240 VAC at 50-60 Hz frequency, making it suitable for deployment across different regional power standards. The input current ranges from 7A to 2.8A depending on the input voltage level.
What is the RPM and performance level of this drive?
The Dell 400-AEFW operates at 10,000 RPM, positioning it in the high-performance tier for enterprise storage. This speed provides faster data access times compared to standard 7,200 RPM drives, making it suitable for applications requiring quick I/O operations and reduced latency.
What is the airflow direction for the C9K-T1-FANTRAY?
The C9K-T1-FANTRAY provides front-to-back cooling, which is optimized for standard enterprise closet and data center rack installations. This airflow direction allows for flexible cable management and efficient heat dissipation in typical network environments. We offer this accessory as part of our complete Catalyst 9500 Series support portfolio.
Can I use the C9K-T1-FANTRAY as a replacement for the FAN-T4-R?
No, the C9K-T1-FANTRAY and FAN-T4-R are not interchangeable—they are designed for different Catalyst 9500 models. The FAN-T4-R supports 5 fans and is used on C9500-32C and C9500-16X models, while the C9K-T1-FANTRAY supports 4 fans for C9500-32QC, C9500-48Y4C, and C9500-24Y4C models. Ensure you select the correct fan tray for your specific switch model before ordering.
Can I use the Dell 400-AEFW in a RAID configuration?
Yes, the Dell 400-AEFW is designed for enterprise use and can be deployed in RAID arrays for redundancy and performance optimization. Its SAS interface and 10,000 RPM speed make it well-suited for RAID configurations in data centers and server environments. Contact us today for guidance on configuring multiple drives for your specific needs.
What cooling configuration does the C9K-PWR-650WAC-R provide?
The C9K-PWR-650WAC-R is configured for front-to-back cooling airflow, which is essential for proper thermal management in dense rack environments. This design ensures efficient heat dissipation and maintains optimal operating temperatures for your Catalyst 9500 switch.
Is the C9K-T1-FANTRAY a serviceable component?
Yes, the C9K-T1-FANTRAY is a serviceable fan tray assembly that can be replaced in the field as needed. The modular design allows for easy maintenance and replacement without requiring a complete switch replacement. Contact us today if you need to order a replacement fan tray for your Catalyst 9500 switch.
How does the C9K-PWR-650WAC-R compare to other power supply options available?
Cisco offers multiple power supply options for the Catalyst 9500 series, including the 1600W AC (C9K-PWR-1600WACR/2), 930W DC (C9K-PWR-930WDC-R), and 1600W DC (C9K-PWR-1600WDC-R) models. The 650W AC model is ideal for standard deployments, while higher wattage options support more demanding configurations with greater redundancy capabilities.
What storage capacity does the Dell 400-AEFW provide?
The Dell 400-AEFW delivers 1.20 TB of storage capacity, offering substantial space for enterprise applications, databases, and server deployments. This capacity is optimized for organizations requiring reliable, high-speed storage without the footprint of larger capacity drives.
What should I do if a fan fails in my C9K-T1-FANTRAY?
If a single fan fails within the C9K-T1-FANTRAY, the system will continue to operate, but fan speeds will dynamically increase to compensate for the failed fan and maintain adequate cooling. However, we recommend replacing the failed fan or the entire fan tray assembly promptly to restore full redundancy and prevent thermal issues.
