HPE E5412 zl 12-slot Switch Chassis

SKU CH-QQ08-A6782 MPN E5412

A 12-slot Layer 4 manageable switch chassis supporting 10/100/1000 and 10-Gigabit modules

  • Switch TypeSwitch Chassis
  • 12 expansion slots for scalable network growth
  • Layer 4 switching handles demanding QoS and security
  • ProVision ASIC enables granular feature implementation
  • Supports 10/100, Gigabit and 10-Gigabit interfaces
  • Integrated PoE+ on copper ports powers devices directly

Switch Chassis for Modular Networks

The HPE E5412 zl is a 12-slot switch chassis designed for enterprise wired networking. It serves as the foundation for a programmable ProVision ASIC platform. The chassis supports zl modules and bundles for flexible expansion. It is built for scalable deployment in demanding environments.

Twelve Expansion Slots for Growth

This chassis provides 12 total expansion slots for I/O modules. The slot count determines how many line cards or fabric modules can be installed. Buyers must match their port-density requirements to this fixed capacity. No other chassis size is referenced in the data.

Suits Teams Building a 12-Slot Core

Network engineers who need a 12-slot managed Layer 4 chassis for a central aggregation layer will find this platform suitable. It is not for buyers who require a 6-slot form factor or a fixed-configuration switch. Teams without zl module inventory should verify compatibility before purchase.

Highlights

  • Layer 4 switching handles demanding QoS and security
  • ProVision ASIC enables granular feature implementation
  • Supports 10/100, Gigabit and 10-Gigabit interfaces
  • Integrated PoE+ on copper ports powers devices directly

Questions about this item

What does the 12-slot capacity mean when the chassis is populated?

The chassis accepts up to twelve zl modules, so you can mix 10/100, Gigabit and 10-Gigabit line cards plus PoE+ blades in a single 4U frame.

Which management layer does the switch operate at and what does that cap?

Layer 4 support lets the ProVision ASIC enforce QoS and security policies on TCP/UDP ports, limiting traffic classification to transport-layer headers.

What physical mounting and power does the E5412 zl need?

The 4U chassis mounts in a standard rack, uses hot-swap power supplies that slide in from the front, and requires front-to-rear airflow clearance.
