CHAPTER 1
Overview
•Overview, on page 1
Overview
The Cisco Nexus 9316D-GX switch (N9K-C9316D-GX) is a 1-RU, fixed-port switch designed for deployment
in data centers. This switch has 16 x 400/100-Gbps QSFP-DD ports.
To determine how to use and configure these ports, see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Interfaces
Configuration Guide.
To determine which transceivers, adapters, and cables this switch supports, see the Cisco Transceiver Modules
Compatibility Information document.
This switch includes the following user-replaceable components:
• Fan modules (six) with the following airflow choices:
• Port-side exhaust airflow with blue coloring (NXA-FAN-35CFM-PE)
• Port-side intake airflow with red coloring (NXA-FAN-35CFM-PI)

Note
• Power supply modules (two—One for operations and one for redundancy [1+1]) with the following
choices:
• 1100-W AC power supply with port-side exhaust airflow (blue coloring) (NXA-PAC-1100W-PE2)
•1100-W AC power supply with port-side intake airflow (burgundy coloring) (NXA-PAC-1100W-PI2)

• 1100-W HVAC/HVDC power supply with port-side exhaust airflow (blue coloring)
(NXA-PHV-1100W-PE)
• 1100-W HVAC/HVDC power supply with port-side intake airflow (burgundy coloring)
(NXA-PHV-1100W-PI)
• 1100-W DC power supply with port-side exhaust airflow (blue coloring) (NXA-PDC-1100W-PE)
•1100-W DC power supply with port-side intake airflow (burgundy coloring) (NXA-PDC-1100W-PI)
Both power supplies use the same type of power source. Do not mix AC and DC
power sources.
Note
All fan modules and power supplies must use the same airflow direction during
operations.
Note
In the event that only one power supply is operating in an active system and a
second power supply is inserted, the system fan will slow down to 50% of Max
speed for 12 seconds. It can take up to 10 seconds for the second power supply
to become active. Please do not remove the first power supply during this
time-frame, in order to avoid system shutdown.
Note
The following figure shows the hardware features seen from the port side of the chassis.
