Arista DCS-7060DX4-32C-RV3-F | 7060X4 32-Port 400G Switch for ORv3, Front-to-Rear Air

Q: What does the RV3 designation in this SKU indicate?
A: The RV3 indicates this is an Open Rack v3 (ORv3) compatible variant designed for hyperscale data centers with centralized DC power and cooling infrastructure. This switch assembly ships without fans or power supplies and mounts on L-shaped IT-support brackets rather than traditional rack rails.

Q: Can this switch operate in a standard 19-inch rack environment?
A: While physically compatible with 19-inch racks, this ORv3 variant ships without fans or power supplies and is intended for ORv3 rack environments with centralized infrastructure. For standard rack deployments, the DCS-7060DX4-32-F model with integrated fans and AC power supplies is recommended.

Q: What breakout options are supported on the QSFP-DD ports?
A: Each 400G QSFP-DD port supports flexible breakout configurations: 2x 200G, 4x 100G, 4x 50G, or 2x 40G using appropriate breakout cables and transceivers. This enables up to 128 ports of 100GbE connectivity from the 32 physical ports, ideal for high-density leaf connectivity.

Q: Is this switch suitable for AI/ML workloads?
A: Yes, the 7060DX4-32C-RV3-F is well-suited for AI/ML fabrics with its 700ns latency, 64 MB shared packet buffer for burst absorption, and native 400G per-port bandwidth. Arista EOS features like LANZ (Latency Analyzer), DANZ (Data Analyzer), and dynamic load balancing provide visibility and optimization for distributed training workloads.

Q: What is the power and cooling configuration for this SKU?
A: This SKU ships without power supplies or fan modules as it is designed for ORv3 racks with centralized DC power distribution and cooling. Power supplies and fans must be sourced separately based on the specific ORv3 infrastructure requirements. Non-ORv3 deployments should use the standard DCS-7060DX4-32-F model.
