Extreme ExtremeSwitching SLX 9030 Switches - Refurbished, Used, New
Extreme ExtremeSwitching SLX 9030 switches are 1RU data center leaf and enterprise aggregation switches with 48 ports of 10G and four 100G QSFP28 uplinks, running SLX-OS. Two base models cover the two 10G media types: the 48S with SFP+ cages for optics and direct attach cables, and the 48T with 10GBASE-T RJ45 copper. Each is sold either as a bare chassis with no fans or power supplies, or as an AC front-to-back bundle, and the fans and power supplies are shared with the X590 line. NetworkTigers sells SLX 9030 switches, fan modules and power supplies refurbished, used and new. Every unit is tested before it ships so it works when it arrives.

Which SLX 9030 do I need?
Pick the 10G media first. The 48S takes SFP+ optics and DAC cables, which is the usual choice for a leaf switch cabled to servers over fiber or twinax; the 48T takes RJ45 patch cords for servers with 10GBASE-T adapters and for closets already wired with Category 6a. Then decide on airflow. Front-to-back (ports at the cold aisle, marked F) is standard for a data center row where the ports face the rear of the rack; back-to-front (marked R) suits a rack where the ports face the cold aisle. Fans and power supplies must all move air the same direction, so order a matched set of 17115 fans with 10960 supplies, or 17116 fans with 10961 or 10963 supplies. The bare chassis models are the flexible choice when you want DC power or back-to-front airflow; the -AC-F bundles are the quick choice for a standard AC row. The four 100G QSFP28 uplinks also run at 40G with QSFP+ optics, so an existing 40G spine is fine.
Frequently asked questions
Can the 100G uplinks be broken out?
The QSFP28 ports support breakout to lower-speed lanes with a suitable breakout cable or optic, subject to the SLX-OS release and port group rules on the unit. Tell us how you plan to cable the uplinks and we will confirm the port configuration before you order.
How many power supplies does an SLX 9030 take?
Two. One runs the switch; the second gives you redundancy and lets you feed the unit from two power circuits. Both must be the same airflow direction, and we recommend the same part number in both bays.
Are the X590 fans and power supplies really the same part?
Yes. The 10960 and 10961 power supplies and the 17115 and 17116 fans are listed by Extreme for both the SLX 9030 and the X590, which is why they appear in this collection. Match the airflow direction to the switch and the rack.
