Arista DCS-7368-CH | 7368X4 Modular Chassis, 1 Supervisor, 8 Line Card Slots, 4RU

Q: What components are included with the DCS-7368-CH chassis?
A: The DCS-7368-CH is an empty chassis only. You must separately purchase the supervisor module (DCS-7368-SUP or DCS-7368-SUP-D), line cards, power supplies (PWR-1900 AC or DC), and fan modules to create a functioning system.

Q: What types of line cards are compatible with the 7368X4 chassis?
A: The chassis supports Arista 7368X4 series line cards including 100G QSFP28, 200G, and 400G QSFP-DD/OSFP interface modules. Each of the 8 slots receives 3.2 Tbps of switching fabric capacity, enabling high-density multi-speed configurations.

Q: How many power supplies are required for redundancy?
A: The chassis supports up to 4 PWR-1900 power supplies in N+N redundant configuration. Minimum power requirements depend on your specific line card configuration, but redundant power is recommended for mission-critical deployments.

Q: What is the minimum EOS software version for the 7368X4?
A: The Arista 7368X4 series requires Arista EOS version 4.22.0 or higher. Ensure your supervisor module runs compatible firmware before deploying line cards.

Q: Can this chassis support both spine and leaf architectures?
A: Yes, the 7368X4 is designed for flexible deployment in both leaf and spine roles within large-scale data center networks. It supports advanced features like 128-way ECMP and 64-way MLAG for scalable multi-tier designs.
