Description

The Arista DCS-7808 is an 8-slot modular chassis designed for large-scale data centre core and aggregation deployments. Built for mission-critical network infrastructure, it delivers massive scalability, hardware-based redundancy, and graceful cooling degradation to maintain continuous operation even during partial fan module failure. The chassis supports hot-swappable fabric and cooling modules, including the DCS-7816L-FCM and DCS-7812-FCM, ensuring serviceability without planned downtime.

The DCS-7808 is a key component of Arista's 7800 Series modular switch platform, engineered for high-density spine and core roles in enterprise and hyperscale environments. With user-serviceable fan modules and support for redundant fabric cooling, it integrates seamlessly into EOS-managed Arista network fabrics.
