Arista Networks DCS-7508N-CH 13RU network switch chassis

SKU CH-J2DX-XSMX3 MPN DCS-7508N-CH

A 13RU data-centre switch chassis accepting eight linecards, six fabric modules, two supervisors and eight power supplies, all modules sold separately

  • 13RU chassis fits standard 19-inch racks
  • 8 linecard slots enable high-density port expansion
  • 6 fabric module slots provide scalable switching fabric
  • 2 supervisor slots support redundant control plane
  • 8 power supply slots allow N+N power redundancy

13RU Data-Centre Chassis

The Arista DCS-7508N-CH is a 13RU network switch chassis built for large-scale data-centre deployments. It provides the physical framework for supervisors, line cards, fabric modules and power supplies. Network engineers and infrastructure teams use it to assemble high-density switching platforms tailored to specific throughput and redundancy requirements. The chassis ships without any active modules or rack mounts.

Capacity and Module Headroom

The unit offers two supervisor slots, eight linecard slots, six fabric module slots and eight power supply slots, giving ample room to scale port count and resilience. All ports and uplink speeds are defined by the line cards and fabric modules chosen, so capacity grows with the modules installed. Without those modules the chassis provides no network interfaces, limiting immediate use to staging or spares holding.

Module-Dependent Connectivity

Every networking function — port type, speed, uplink capability and protocol support — is determined by the separate network modules that populate the linecard and fabric slots. Buyers who need a ready-to-cable switch with fixed ports or integrated uplinks cannot use this chassis alone. It is intended for teams that will procure and install compatible Arista modules to complete the system.

Questions about this item

Will my existing 19-inch rack accommodate the 13RU height and 22.75-inch depth of this DCS-7508N-CH chassis?

The chassis occupies 13 rack units and measures 22.75 inches deep, so a standard 19-inch rack with at least 13U of free vertical space and sufficient depth clearance will accept it.

How can I verify the Arista EOS software is running correctly on the supervisors once I install them in the DCS-7508N-CH?

After inserting supervisor modules, connect to the console port and check that EOS boots, shows both supervisors in a healthy redundancy state, and reports all eight linecard and six fabric slots as recognised.

Which modules and power supplies must I purchase separately to make the DCS-7508N-CH operational?

The chassis ships with two supervisor slots, eight linecard slots, six fabric slots and eight power supply slots — all empty — so you must buy supervisor, linecard, fabric and PSU modules separately.
