J-EX8216 switches provide high-availability and redundancy for all major hardware components, including Routing Engine (RE) modules, Switch Fabric (SF) modules, fan trays (with redundant fans), and load-sharing 2000 W AC and 3000 W AC power supplies. Like other Dell PowerConnect J-EX8200 Series Ethernet Switches, J-EX8216 switches provide high performance, scalable connectivity, and carrier-class reliability. You can manage J-EX8216 switches using the same Junos OS interfaces that you use for other Junos OS platforms-the Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) and the J-Web graphical interface. • Software on page 3 • Chassis Physical Specifications, LCD Panel, and Midplane on page 4 • Routing Engines and Switch Fabric on page 5 • Line Cards on page 6 • Cooling System on page 6 • Power Supplies on page 7 The Dell PowerConnect J-EX Series Switches- PowerConnect J-Series J-EX4200 Ethernet Switches and PowerConnect J-Series J-EX8200 Ethernet Switches-run under Junos 3
