Is this switch stackable, and what is the maximum stack size?

Yes, it supports stacking up to 2 units with IRF technology, providing <50ms convergence time and reducing management complexity by up to 88%. This is ideal for scalable ToR or spine deployments with 40GbE QSFP+ ports.

What power supplies are included with SKU JH379A?

The bundle includes 2 x hot-plug AC power supplies for redundancy, with options for 90-264 VAC input. Max power rating is approximately 399W idle, supporting reliable operation with dual fan trays.

What form factor does the 5930 2-slot switch use?

It is a 2-slot modular chassis, rack-mountable in 1U/2U spaces, measuring about 17.3" x 26" depth. Designed for high-density data center racks with reversible airflow.

What Layer 3 features does this switch support?

As a Layer 3 stackable switch, it supports OSPF, BGP, IS-IS routing, plus DCB protocols like IEEE 802.1Qbb PFC. Cut-through architecture delivers 1μs latency for 10GbE.

What are the environmental operating specs?

Operates from 32°F to 113°F (0°C to 45°C) with 10-90% non-condensing humidity. Fan noise is 59.8 dB low-speed, 74.4 dB high-speed, suitable for enterprise data centers.
