FAQs

Q: How many ports are active out of the box?
A: 24 ports are enabled with the PSE Base license; you can add POD licenses to reach 48.

Q: Are optics included?
A: Optics are typically ordered separately; use 64G FC SFP56 SW for 64G speeds or 32G FC SFP28 for 32G.

Q: Is it backward compatible?
A: Yes. Each port supports 8/16/32/64G FC, enabling smooth migration.

Q: What is the airflow direction?
A: Port-side exhaust, suitable for hot-aisle containment.

Q: Do I need dedicated uplink ports?
A: No. Any front-panel port can be configured as an ISL.
