Frequently asked questions
Are power supplies included?
Yes. Two APS750W modular power supplies are pre-installed for 1+1 redundancy.
Can the QSFP28 ports run at lower speeds?
Yes. Ports run at 100G by default and also support 50G or 40G, or 4 x 25G / 4 x 10G with breakout cabling.
Does it stack?
The datasheet does not list stacking; it supports MLAG (up to 63 groups with 32 members each).
