Arista 32-port 40GbE QSFP+ switch

The Arista DCS-7050QX-32-R is a 1 RU network switch that provides 32 ports of 40GbE QSFP+ connectivity. It runs Arista EOS and includes two 460W hot-swappable AC power supplies with rear-to-front airflow plus four hot-swappable fans. Management access is available through a 100/1000 RJ-45 port, an RS-232 serial console port and a USB port.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This switch suits data-centre operators who need high-density 40GbE aggregation in a single rack unit with redundant power and cooling. It is not for buyers who require 100 GbE line-rate ports, nor for teams that need rack-mount rails included in the box.

The specification that decides fit

The decisive factor is the 32 x 40GbE QSFP+ port count combined with rear-to-front airflow; if your cabling plan and cooling layout match that exact port density and airflow direction, the switch fits, otherwise a different port configuration or airflow scheme is required.

Questions about this item

How do I install the DCS-7050QX-32-R and what step is often missed?

Mount the 1 RU chassis in a standard rack using your own rails, insert the two 460 W hot-swappable AC power supplies and four hot-swappable fans, then connect the RJ-45 management and console ports before powering on.

What maintenance or replacement will the DCS-7050QX-32-R need later?

The two 460 W hot-swappable AC power supplies and four hot-swappable fans are the only field-replaceable units; both can be swapped without tools while the switch stays running.

What limit appears first on the DCS-7050QX-32-R under sustained load?

The rear-to-front airflow design and four hot-swappable fans set the thermal ceiling; if inlet air exceeds the rated range the fans ramp to maximum and the switch will throttle ports to protect itself.
