Chassis for the Cisco Nexus 3132Q Switch
The 1-RU Cisco Nexus C3132Q chassis (part number N3K-C3132Q-40GE) is 1.72 inches (4.4 cm) high,
17.3 inches (43.9 cm) wide, and 19.7 inches (50.5 cm) deep. This switch is designed for 19-inch (48.3
cm) racks. Its switch ports are at the rear of the chassis in close proximity to server ports, and the power
supplies and fan tray modules are accessible from the front for easy replacement. You can order this
switch with forward or reverse airflow. Forward airflow (Port-side exhaust where air enters through fan
tray and power supplies and exits through ports) is supported with AC and DC power supplies. Reversed
airflow (Port-side intake, where air enters through ports and exits through fan tray and power supplies)
is supported with AC power supply only.
The switch weighs 21.5 lb (9.3 kg) and can be easily installed by one or two people.
