Network switch for dense server access

The HPE 5900AF-48XG-4QSFP+ is a Layer 3 switch built for high-density 10 GbE top-of-rack deployment. It suits large enterprise data centres needing ultra-low latency server connectivity and convergence of Ethernet and storage traffic. The platform also fits medium-sized enterprise core layers where virtualised workloads demand consistent performance.

Fits a 1U rack slot with 48 SFP+ and 4 QSFP+ ports

This 1U high unit mounts in a standard rack and provides 48 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet expansion slots plus 4 x 40 Gigabit Ethernet expansion slots. The port mix frees up uplink capacity for aggregation while keeping cabling contained in a single rack unit. Transceivers and cables must be sourced separately to match the SFP+ and QSFP+ interfaces.

Thermals, noise and power draw in normal use

As a rack-mountable data-centre switch, it uses internal forced-air cooling designed for continuous operation in hot-aisle and cold-aisle layouts. Fan speed scales with internal temperature sensors to maintain safe ASIC and power-supply temperatures under load. Acoustic output is typical for 1U ToR equipment in a server room environment. Power consumption varies with port utilisation and transceiver types installed.

Questions about this item

How many 10 Gigabit Ethernet expansion slots does the JC772A provide for sustained server connections?

The switch offers 48 10 Gigabit Ethernet expansion slots for high-density server access.

What is the airflow and acoustic profile of the 5900AF when mounted in a 1U rack and running continuously?

The 1U rack-mountable chassis uses internal fans for front-to-rear cooling; acoustic output varies with load and ambient temperature.

Which transceivers or cables must I already have to populate the 40 Gigabit Ethernet expansion slots?

The four 40 Gigabit Ethernet expansion slots accept QSFP+ transceivers or direct-attach cables purchased separately.
