Arista DCS-7130-96LBS-R | 7130L 96-Port 10G SFP+ FPGA Switch, 2U, 2x AC PSU

Q: Does this model include power supplies and fans?
A: No, the DCS-7130-96LBS-R requires PSU/Fan kits to be purchased separately. Compatible power supplies include the PWR-747-AC (747W AC) for the 96LBS models.

Q: What is the primary use case for the 7130L Series?
A: The 7130L Series is designed for ultra-low latency applications requiring FPGA-based custom packet processing, including financial trading networks, high-frequency data capture, network telemetry, and advanced traffic analysis. It supports both Arista and third-party FPGA applications.

Q: What FPGA development tools are available?
A: Arista provides the FPGA Development Kit (FDK) with complete API documentation, sample code, and IP cores. Developers have unrestricted access to the onboard Xilinx VU9P-3 FPGA for custom application development and deployment.

Q: What is the difference between the LBS and LS models?
A: The LBS models feature the more powerful Xilinx VU9P-3 FPGA (speed grade 3) compared to the LS models which use the VU7P-2 FPGA (speed grade 2). This provides enhanced FPGA processing capabilities for demanding applications.

Q: Is this switch compatible with standard network optics?
A: Yes, the 7130-96LBS-R supports industry-standard SFP+ optical transceivers and DAC cables for 100M, 1G, and 10G connectivity. Refer to Arista's optics compatibility matrix for the complete list of supported modules.
