Build the copper and fiber port plan
The saved source lists Ports in total up to 88, Basic unit 8 fixed ports: 8x 1/2.5/10 GE SFP+ plus 32x FE/GE TX ports, Modular: 48x FE/GE ports expandable with four media module slots, 12 FE/GE ports per module. Allocate access, aggregation and high-speed uplink interfaces before requesting supply. Confirm transceiver format, fiber medium, reach, breakout needs, link redundancy and spare capacity for the final topology.
Review rack power and cooling
The manufacturer data gives PSU unit input: 100 - 240 V AC; switch can be operated with either 1 or 2 field-replaceable PSU units (to be ordered separately), an operating reference of 0 to +60 °C °C, and dimensions of 480 mm x 88 mm x 445 mm. Check rack depth, airflow, fan and power redundancy, grounding, branch protection and service clearance against the project cabinet design.
Separate hardware and software scope
State the required switching, routing, redundancy, management, cybersecurity and time-synchronisation functions. Ask the quotation to separate the base hardware, software entitlement, power or fan modules, line cards, transceivers and accessories where they are not included in the requested part number.
