N5K-C5596T-FA Overview
N5K-C5596T-FA Hardware Identity
N5K-C5596T-FA identifies the Cisco Nexus 5596T, a fixed 2-RU mixed copper and unified-port switch in the Nexus 5500 platform. Cisco documents 32 fixed 10GBASE-T ports, 16 fixed SFP+ unified ports and 3 optional expansion slots; the FA order includes 2 power supplies and 4 fans. Optional modules, optics, cables, licenses and support are included only when explicitly itemized.
Copper and storage convergence record
Separate the thirty-two 10GBASE-T links from the sixteen SFP+ unified ports and any modules in the three expansion slots. Cisco limits FCoE over 10GBASE-T on this platform to the documented cable conditions, so cable category and distance belong in the receiving record. For unified ports, retain Ethernet, FCoE or Fibre Channel mode and SAN ownership. The FA order description includes supplies and fans, but receiving still must verify matching airflow and actual quantities. Plan replacement by traffic domain so a copper server move does not unintentionally change storage connectivity.
Acceptance test
Measure cable length, test copper Ethernet and each used unified-port personality, inventory all GEM slots, and validate the airflow direction across supplies and fans.
Lifecycle boundary
Cisco has retired the Nexus 5500 generation; verify support status, expansion modules and a current copper/storage migration path.
Receiving controls
- Match the exact PID, serial, installed modules, airflow and power configuration.
- Record every port personality, optic, cable, breakout and peer relationship.
- Confirm NX-OS or ACI mode, image checksum, license and controller compatibility.
- Attach failure-test evidence and a dated migration decision to the asset record.
