Page 11: Overview
Overview, on page 1 Overview The Cisco Nexus 93108TC-FX switch (N9K-C93108TC-FX) is a 1-RU, fixed-port switch designed for spine-leaf-APIC deployment in data centers. This switch has 48 10GBASE-T Application Policy Infrastructure Controllers (APICs) facing ports that support 100-Megabits, 1- or 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections, and it has six fixed 40/100-Gigabit QSFP28 spine-facing ports. - Page 12 To determine which transceivers, adapters, and cables this switch supports, see the Cisco Transceiver Modules Compatibility Information document. The following figure shows the hardware features seen from the power supply side of the chassis. Cisco Nexus 93108TC-FX ACI Mode Hardware Installation Guide...
- Page 13 If the switch has port-side exhaust airflow (blue coloring for fan modules), you must locate the ports in the hot aisle. If you locate the air intake in a hot aisle, the switch can overheat and shut down. Cisco Nexus 93108TC-FX ACI Mode Hardware Installation Guide...

Cisco equipment. In situations where long parallel cable runs cannot be separated by at least 3.3 feet (1 meter), we recommend that you shield any potential noise sources by housing them in a grounded metallic conduit. -
Page 41: Connecting Leaf Switches To Apics
Connecting Leaf Switches to APICs You must downlink one or two (recommended for redundancy) Cisco Nexus 9300 platform ACI-mode leaf switches to each Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) in your ACI fabric. The type of virtual interface card (VIC) installed on the APIC determines the types of interface cables that you can use to connect the leaf switches to the APICs. - Page 42 Connect the other end of the interface cable to a downlink port on a leaf switch. • For a Cisco 10GBASE-LR or -SR transceiver and cable, insert the transceiver into a downlink optical port on a leaf switch before connecting the cable to the transceiver.
