CE6870-48S6CQ-EI belongs to Huawei's CloudEngine CE6800 data center switch family. The official hardware description identifies a 442 x 420 x 43.6 mm chassis and 8.6 kg configured weight with two power modules and two fan modules. It is distinct from the later CE6870-48S6CQ-EI-A ordering family.
Huawei lists AC and DC power support, 1+1 power-module backup and hot-swappable power and fan modules. Airflow can be front-to-back or back-to-front depending on the matched power and fan modules. A mixed-airflow configuration must not be assembled. The exact BOM should identify module direction, included quantity and optic requirements.
Huawei's Smart Link, ARP and STP/RSTP support tables list V200R001C00 as the minimum release for CE6870-48S6CQ-EI. This baseline does not prove that every feature or license is included. Confirm the installed software, supported upgrade path and required feature entitlement before replacing an existing switch.
