Product questions & answers
What do P2C and C2P mean?
P2C moves air from the power side toward the connectors. C2P moves air from the connectors toward the power side. Select the direction specified for the exact switch configuration.
Is the SN2201 rail kit also the SN2201_M kit?
The SN2201 manual lists different kits: MTEF-KIT-M-TL for SN2201 and MTEF-KIT-MX-TL for SN2201_M in MGX racks. Keep those order codes distinct.
Does a public ordering or compatibility entry prove stock and delivery?
No. Record the manufacturer’s published lifecycle wording separately from commercial availability. Stock, lead time, software entitlement, support and warranty require a current supplier quote.
Where is SN2201 used in NVIDIA reference designs?
NVIDIA’s SuperPOD reference architectures use SN2201 for out-of-band management of compute, switch, server, storage and rack-management interfaces. The B300 XDR network-fabric guide explicitly discusses AC or DC SN2201 systems; it does not identify CBARC as the exact installed OPN.
What is the specified configuration of MSN2201-CBARC?
NVIDIA Spectrum based 1GbE/100GbE 1U Open Ethernet switch with Cumulus Linux, 48 RJ45 ports and 4 QSFP28 ports, Dual Power Supplies (DC), x86 CPU, Connector-to-Power airflow.
