Power supplies and fan trays
Power supplies and fan trays are sold separately, so you can choose AC or DC power and the airflow that matches your rack. A listing that names an airflow direction is a configured switch and states what is installed; otherwise it is the switch only.
| Switch | Power supplies | Fan trays (2, same direction) |
|---|---|---|
| JH390A, JH395A | 1 minimum: JC680A 650W AC, JH336A 650W DC, JG900A 300W AC or JG901A 300W DC | JG552A or JC683A port to power side; JG553A or JC682A power to port side |
| JH391A, JH394A, JH396A, JH397A | 1 minimum: JC680A 650W AC or JH336A 650W DC | JG552A port to power side; JG553A power to port side |

Which version do I need?
Choose a 48-port 5940 for 10 Gigabit server racks: SFP+ for fiber or DAC-connected servers, 1/10GBASE-T for copper. For uplinks, choose 100GbE QSFP28 (JH390A, JH391A) to connect to a 100 Gigabit spine, or 40GbE QSFP+ (JH395A, JH394A) for an existing 40 Gigabit core. Choose the JH396A for 40 Gigabit aggregation, or a modular switch (JH397A, JH398A) to pick your own mix of ports. The older FlexFabric 5930 is 10/40 Gigabit only; for 25 Gigabit servers, see the FlexFabric 5945.
Stacking and upgrades
HPE IRF combines up to nine 5940 switches so they are managed as one. The 5940 supports ISSU (in-service software upgrade); whether a given upgrade is hitless depends on the software release, so check HPE's release notes first.
Every switch carries a 365-day warranty. Ask us for a quote on matching switches or complete configurations.
