Product identity

The Arista DCS-7060CX2-32S-R is a 1 RU network switch that provides 32 ports of 100GbE QSFP100 connectivity and two 1/10GbE SFP+ uplink ports. It runs Arista EOS and includes 8 GB system memory with a 22 MB packet buffer, plus dual 500 W hot-swappable AC power supplies and four hot-swappable fans in a rear-to-front airflow configuration.

Who it suits

This switch fits data-centre teams that need high-density 100GbE access in a single rack unit with rear-to-front cooling. Buyers who require a different port count, a front-to-back airflow design, or integrated management features beyond the supplied RJ-45 and serial console ports should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding specification

The 32 x 100GbE QSFP100 port array is the defining attribute; if your cabling plan and uplink strategy rely on that exact density and interface type, the unit matches the requirement.

Questions about this item

What rack space does this 1 RU switch require?

The unit occupies 1 RU of rack height and uses rear-to-front airflow; allow clearance at the rear for the two hot-swappable 500 W AC power supplies and four hot-swappable fans.

What is the correct order for installing transceivers and cables on the 32 QSFP100 ports?

Insert each QSFP100 transceiver fully until it clicks, then attach cables; the common mistake is seating the cable before the transceiver locks, which can bend the connector.

Which field-replaceable parts will need attention over the life of the switch?

Two hot-swappable 500 W AC power supplies and four hot-swappable fans are designed for in-service replacement; the 8 GB system memory and 22 MB packet buffer are fixed on the board.
