Chapter 1 Product Overview
System Features
LEDs
The Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server Switches feature the following LEDs:
• Chassis LEDs—Show overall system status, power status, and fan status. LEDs and their use are
described in the “Chassis Status LEDs” section on page 5-1.
• InfiniBand Port LEDs—Show link status, diagnostics, and network traffic. LEDs and their uses are
described in the “InfiniBand Port LEDs” section on page 5-3.
Power Supply Bay
The chassis provides dual independent IEC connectors that are left- and right-justified.
Power Supply Module
The power supply module, which contains the power supply and fan unit, has the following features:
• Redundant and hot-swappable— The replacement of any one power supply module does not disrupt
the operation of the device and can be successfully completed without removing the device from a
rack or disconnecting any cables.
• Auto-ranging 90 to 264 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz.
• Redundant, hot-swappable cooling.
See the “Installing a Power Supply Module” section on page 4-2 for more information.

InfiniBand Connectivity
The Cisco SFS 7000P and SFS 7000D Server Switches can be used in a variety of networking
environments, including database tiers, application tiers, and World Wide Web tiers.
The Cisco SFS 7000P Server Switch provides 10 Gbps connectivity to servers, while the
Cisco SFS 7000D Server Switch provides 20 Gbps DDR or 10 Gbps SDR modes for connectivity to
servers.
Note Copper passive DDR cables are limited to 8 meters in length. If you want to use a longer SDR cable in
place of a DDR cable, the port must be comfigured manually to run an SDR rate.
