Page 7: Overview
• Overview, on page 1 Overview The Cisco Nexus 93108TC-FX3P switch (N9K-C93108TC-FX3P, N9K-C93108TC-FX3H) is a 1-rack unit (RU), fixed-port switch designed for spine-leaf-APIC deployment in data centers. PoE is supported on ports 1-48. This switch supports the following ports: • 48 100M/1/2.5/5/10GBASE-T ports (ports 1-48). - Page 8 All fan modules and power supplies must use the same airflow direction. Note The details of the 1900-W power supply (NXA-PAC-1900W-PI) will not display in the CLI show commands, until a working power source is connected to the power supply.

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 37: 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 38 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.

Migration of Nodes From a First Generation Switch to a Second Generation Switch You have first generation Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches that may or may not be comprising a virtual port channel (vPC). You are migrating to second generation Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches using the same cables. - Page 43 From the Cisco APIC GUI, perform the Remove From Controller operation for the operational secondary vPC switch node. The Cisco APIC clean reboots the switch. Wait for about 10 minutes for this operation to finish. This action prompts all traffic to use the other first generation switch for data traffic.
