C9010 Hardware Description
The C9010 switch is part of Dell Networking's next-generation LAN solution, providing a scalable switch that oers a path to higher density
10GbE and 40GbE capability. You can deploy the C9010 switch as an access or aggregation/core switch for installations in which a modular
switch is preferred. For larger port requirements, you can also connect C1048P port extenders (PEs) as access devices.
The C9010 switch supports up to two hundred and forty-eight 1GbE, two hundred and forty-eight 10GbE, or sixty 40GbE ports with a
combination of port speeds and media types, such as copper, ber, and direct attach copper (DAC). It is an 8U chassis (18”/45.72 cm
depth) that ts into a standard 19”/48.26 cm rack or cabinet. The C9010 chassis supports the following components:
• Two full-width route processor modules (RPMs) with four 1/10GbE SFP+ uplinks per module
• Ten half-width Ethernet line cards of the following types:
• 6-Port 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+
• 24-Port 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+
• 24-Port 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet Base-T RJ-45
• Three hot-swappable fan modules with side-to-side airow (draws air through ventilation holes on the right side of the chassis and
expels air through ventilation holes on the left side)
• Four 1450/2900 watt AC power supply units (PSUs)
The slot numbers of all installed components are shown in the following gure.
