Expansion Modules
Expansion modules allow Cisco Nexus 5000 switches to be configured as cost-effective 10-Gigabit
Ethernet switches and as I/O consolidation platforms with native Fibre Channel connectivity. The Cisco
Nexus 5010 switch has one slot for an optional uplink Gatos Expansion Module (GEM). There are
several modules which can be accommodated in this slot. Three such modules are N5K-M1404,
N5K-M1600 and N5K-M1008.
• N5K-M1404 provides 4 10G SFP+, and 4 Fiber Channel 1/2/4G SFP based uplink connections. The
10GE ports are encryption capable.
• M5K-M1600 provides 6 10G SFP+ based uplink connections.
• N5K-M1008 provides 8 1/2/4G Fiber Channel, SFP based uplink connection.
The chassis supports hot swapping of the expansion modules.
N5K-M1404
The N5K-M1404 GEM supports four SFP+ transceiver modules and four 1-, 2-, 4-Gbps Fibre Channel
transceivers. The Fibre Channel plus Ethernet expansion module is a field-replaceable unit (FRU).
Figure 1-22 shows the Fibre Channel plus Ethernet expansion module.
