What chassis bandwidth does it provide?

It delivers 4.1Tbps total chassis bandwidth, comprising 192 ports at 16Gbps data rate plus 1.024Tbps ICL bandwidth from 16 UltraScale ICLs (equivalent to 64x 16Gbps ports). Each slot offers 512Gbps, with non-blocking architecture for full line-rate performance.

What components are included for redundancy?

Standard configuration includes 2x CP8 control processors (105-000-138), 2x CR16-4 core blades (105-000-213), 2x 2000W hot-swappable power supplies (105-000-140), and 2x fan modules (105-000-142), providing 1+1 redundancy for processors and power.

What form factor and mounting options are available?

The DCX 8510-4 is an 8U rackmount chassis, modular blade-based design, rack mountable. Fully populated weight is around 68kg (150lb), optimized for standard 19-inch data center racks with airflow from non-port to port side.

Does it support multi-chassis fabrics?

Yes, with 16 ICL ports (QSFP/MTP) providing 64Gbps each for trunking, enabling connections to up to six DCX 8510 chassis. Supports frame-based trunking and DPS for load balancing across fabrics.

What power consumption should I expect?

Max power is 1195W (4078 BTU/hr) for fully-loaded 192-port config with QSFP; min 618W for 32-port. Uses two 2000W AC supplies (85-264V auto-ranging), with efficiency of 1.04kg per Gbps in dense configs.
