Common questions
Which DC version uses port-side intake?
This one, the DC-AFO: front-to-back, so air enters at the port side and leaves at the power-supply side. It runs on JPSU-650W-DC-AFO supplies in 1+1.
Does this DC model retain Virtual Chassis support?
Yes. It supports up to four switches operating together under Virtual Chassis management.
Do I need a license key for base features?
No. The DC-AFO runs the standard software as shipped, and the optional license tiers are listed in Support & Licensing above.
