• Communication to components such as power supplies and fan trays
• Transparent clocking
• Alarm and logging functions
It consists of the following internal components:
• High-performance 1.6-GHz Intel 8 Core X86 CPU
• 32-GB DDR4 RAM
• 2x100-GB SATA SSD
Power Supplies
EX9251 switches support AC power supply and DC power supply. See
.
CAUTION: Do not mix AC and DC power supplies in the same chassis.
Cooling System
The cooling system in an EX9251 switch consists of three fan trays. The fan trays are installed on the
rear panel of the chassis. Each fan tray contains one counter rotating fan. See
Component Redundancy
A fully configured EX9251 switch is designed such that no single point of failure can cause the entire
system to fail. The following major hardware components are redundant:
• Power supplies—The switch supports two power supplies. If one power supply fails in a fully
configured switch, the other power supply can provide full power to the switch.
• Cooling system—The switch supports three fan trays. If one fan fails or the temperature of the
chassis rises above the temperature threshold in a fully configured switch, the speed of the remaining
fans is automatically adjusted to keep the temperature within the acceptable range.
