Huawei CloudEngine 6863 series switches are next-generation 25GE access switches that provide high performance and high port density on data center networks and high-end campus networks. The CloudEngine 6863 series have advanced hardware architecture with 40GE/100GE uplink ports and high-density 25GE access ports. Using Huawei’s VRP8 software platform, CloudEngine 6863 series switches support extensive data center features and high stacking capabilities. In addition, the CloudEngine 6863 series use a flexible airflow design (front-to-back or back-to-front).

CloudEngine 6863 series can work with CloudEngine 16800 or CloudEngine 12800 series data center core switches to build elastic, virtual, and high-quality 40GE/100GE full-mesh networks, meeting requirements of cloud computing data centers.

Slot Description

Power Slots

Each of the CloudEngine 6800 series switches has two power module slots and supports pluggable power modules. A chassis can use one or two power modules. In particular, dual power modules provide higher reliability.

The CloudEngine 6800 series switches support 1+1 backup of power modules.

When both power modules are working properly, each of them provides half of the power required for the chassis.
When one power module fails, the other one provides all power required for the chassis.

All power modules of the devices are hot swappable.

Fan Slots

Each of the CloudEngine 6800 series switches has four fan slots in which fan modules can be installed to cool the chassis, ensuring efficient heat dissipation and system stability.

It is recommended that four fan modules be properly installed on a switch to ensure normal switch operating. The device supports four pluggable fan modules that work in hot standby mode. The system can operate properly for a short time after a single fan module fails. You are advised to replace the faulty fan module immediately.

All fan modules are hot swappable.

Heat Dissipation System

The cooling system of the CloudEngine 6800 series switches uses front-to-back or back-to-front airflow depending on the airflow direction of the power modules and fan modules used.

Front-to-back airflow: Power modules and fan modules with front-to-back airflow are identified by . Air flows into the chassis from the power supply side and is exhausted from the port side, as shown in Figure 3-104 (using a CE6863 chassis as an example).
Back-to-front airflow: Power modules and fan modules with back-to-front airflow are identified by . Air flows into the chassis from the port side and is exhausted from the power supply side, as shown in Figure 3-105 (using a CE6863 chassis as an example).

Figure 3-104 Front-to-back airflow for port-side exhaust

Figure 3-105 Back-to-front airflow for port-side intake

The airflow direction of the power modules and fan modules required on the CloudEngine 6800 series switches depends on how the device is installed in a cabinet. Typically, cabinets in a data center have cold air flowing in from the front and hot air exhausted from the back. If a switch is installed with the power supply side facing the front and the port side facing the back, the switch needs to adopt fan modules and power modules with front-to-back airflow.

Power modules and fan modules using forced air cooling on a switch must have the same airflow direction. If a switch adopts power modules with back-to-front airflow, the switch must use fan modules with back-to-front airflow as well.

4	-	Service port indicator (10GE/25GE optical port) NOTE: Each 10GE/25GE optical port has two single-color indicators. The one on the left is the ACT indicator (yellow), and the one on the right is the LINK indicator (green). Arrowheads show the positions of ports. A down arrowhead indicates a port at the bottom, and an up arrowhead indicates a port at the top.	Green	Off	No link has been established on the port or the port has been shut down.
			Green	Steady on	A link is established on the port.
			Yellow	Off	The port is not sending or receiving data.
			Yellow	Blinking	The port is sending or receiving data.
5	-	Service port indicator (40GE/100GE optical port) NOTE: Arrowheads show the positions of ports. A down arrowhead indicates a port at the bottom, and an up arrowhead indicates a port at the top.	Green	Off	No link has been established on the port or the port has been shut down.
				Steady on	A link is established on the port.
				Blinking	The port is sending or receiving data.
6	L/A	ETH management port indicator	Green	Off	No link is established on the port.
				Steady on	A link is established on the port.
				Blinking	The port is sending or receiving data.
