5. Four 40GbE QSFP+ ports (each port ALSO
supports 4 × 10GbE mode)
NOTE: The LED displays for the system status are on both sides of the chassis. The fan and power
status LEDs are on the Utility panel.
Utility Panel
The Utility panel side of the platform contains the fan and power modules.

Power Supplies
The S5000 supports two hot-swappable PSUs.
NOTE: The PSUs must be installed at the customer site.
The S5000 has SKUs that support the following configurations:
• AC PSU with fan airflow from I/O to Utility
• AC-R PSU with fan airflow from Utility to I/O
• DC PSU with fan airflow from I/O to Utility
• DC-R PSU with fan airflow from Utility to I/O
PSUs are field replaceable. To ensure power redundancy and adequate cooling, install two power
supplies in the switch. When running with full redundancy (two PSUs installed and running), you can
remove and replace one PSU while the other PSU is running without disrupting traffic.
Fans
The S5000 supports two fan trays with airflow directions from I/O to Utility or Utility to I/O.
Do not mix I/O to Utility and Utility to I/O airflows in a single S5000 chassis. All fans and PSUs in a
configuration must be in the same airflow direction. If you create a mixed airflow configuration, the
software notifies you of the invalid configuration.
