Frequently Asked Questions

What is the half-width form factor?

Half-width means the switch is half a standard rack width. Two SN2010M switches mount side-by-side in a single 1U space using an HPE bracket, doubling port density per rack unit.

Does Q9E63A support RoCEv2?

Yes — supports RoCEv2 lossless fabric with PFC and ECN for NVMe-oF storage and AI/ML distributed training workloads.

What is power-to-connector airflow?

Air enters from the PSU side and exits from the port side (front-to-back). Verify your rack hot-aisle/cold-aisle orientation before ordering.
