Description

The 7500R3 8-slot modular chassis is the 13 RU foundation of the Arista 7500R3 Series. It provides 2 supervisor slots, 8 line card slots and 6 fabric module slots, and is built for large-scale layer 2 and layer 3 cloud designs, overlay networks, virtualised or traditional enterprise data centre networks, internet peering, secure data centre interconnect and carrier edge and core routing.

This is the chassis only. Power supplies, fabric modules, supervisor module(s) and line cards are ordered separately. It offers 8 power supply slots with N+N redundancy using 3000W supplies, and a maximum system power of 9,024 W excluding optics. Throughput for the 7508N chassis is 153 Tbps and 32 Bpps, with per-line-card port density of up to 192 x 400G or 768 x 100G ports. Airflow is front-to-rear.

The chassis requires DCS-7508R3-FM fabric modules in fabric slots 1 to 6 and DCS-7500-SUP2 supervisor module(s). It accepts any 7500R3 Series line card, including OSFP and QSFP-DD 400G, QSFP 100G and SFP 25G interfaces. The chassis accessory kit is KIT-7508N, covering 2-post and 4-post mounting. Arista EOS runs on the switch, and optional software licences are available separately.

FAQs

Q: Does this chassis include power supplies, fabric modules and line cards?
A: No. DCS-7508N-CH is the 8-slot, 13 RU chassis only. Power supplies, fabric modules, supervisor module(s) and line cards are ordered separately.

Q: Which power supplies can I use?
A: The chassis has 8 PSU slots with N+N redundancy using 3000W supplies. Options are PWR-3KT-AC-RED (200-240V AC), PWR-3KT-HV-RED (208-240V AC) and PWR-3K-DC-RED (-48 to -60V DC). Maximum system power is 9,024 W excluding optics.

Q: What do I need to make the chassis operational?
A: You need DCS-7508R3-FM fabric modules in fabric slots 1 to 6, at least one DCS-7500-SUP2 supervisor module, power supplies and 7500R3 Series line cards.

Q: Does it need a software licence?
A: Arista EOS runs on the switch. Optional licences for 8-slot modular chassis are LIC-MOD-2-E for enhanced routing, LIC-MOD-2-V for virtualisation, LIC-MOD-2-V2 for EOS extensions and security, and LIC-MOD-2-Z for monitoring and provisioning.

Q: What mounting kit is used?
A: The chassis accessory kit is KIT-7508N, which covers 2-post and 4-post mounting.
