switch also includes replaceable dual power supply units and a fan tray module.
The switch supports a full set of Layer 2 switching, data center bridging, and Layer 3 routing features. The
switch can be deployed as a top-of-rack (TOR).
The switch also offers an option of front-to-back (F2B) or back-to-front (B2F) airflow cooling for rack
