Description

The Arista 7808R4 is an 8-slot modular data centre chassis designed for large-scale spine, core, and interconnect deployments demanding ultra-high throughput and carrier-grade redundancy. This complete bundle ships ready to deploy, including the 7808 chassis, eight 3kW DC power supplies in a front-to-back (D2) airflow configuration, five FM-R4 fabric modules, one FCM, and one 7800-Sup1S supervisor module with Secure Boot enabled — providing a hardened, verified boot chain for security-conscious environments. An extended rack kit is included for flexible physical installation.

Built on Arista's EOS operating system, the 7808R4 delivers non-blocking, line-rate forwarding across all slots with full redundancy across power, fabric, and supervisors. The DC power design suits co-location and carrier deployments where AC infrastructure is unavailable or undesirable. This bundle is ideal for enterprises, hyperscalers, and service providers building high-density 100G/400G data centre fabrics.

FAQs

Q: What is included in the DCS-7808R4-BNDS-U-DC bundle?
A: The bundle includes the Arista 7808 chassis, eight 3kW DC power supplies (D2 airflow), five FM-R4 fabric modules, one FCM (Fabric Control Module), one 7800-Sup1S supervisor with Secure Boot enabled, and an extended rack kit. Line cards are not included and must be ordered separately.

Q: What does the 'Secure Boot Enabled' supervisor mean for my deployment?
A: The 7800-Sup1S with Secure Boot ensures that only cryptographically verified software is loaded during the boot process, protecting against firmware-level tampering and unauthorised code execution. This is critical for compliance-driven environments in finance, government, and carrier-grade infrastructure.

Q: Is this chassis suitable for 400G line-card deployments?
A: Yes. The 7808R4 chassis with FM-R4 fabric modules is designed to support high-density 100G and 400G line cards, making it ideal for modern spine and interconnect roles in large data centre fabrics.

Q: Why does this bundle use DC power instead of AC?
A: DC power (–48V) is the standard in co-location facilities, telco environments, and carrier data centres where centralised DC power plants are used for higher efficiency and simpler battery backup integration. If your facility uses AC power, Arista offers AC-powered variants of this chassis.

Q: Can I purchase the Arista 7808R4 bundle in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware specialist and can supply the DCS-7808R4-BNDS-U-DC to enterprise, government, and service provider customers across Australia. Contact us for pricing, availability, and configuration advice.

Q: Does the 7808R4 support supervisor redundancy?
A: The 7808 chassis supports dual supervisors for 1+1 redundancy. This bundle includes one 7800-Sup1S; a second supervisor module can be added separately for full hitless failover capability, which is strongly recommended for production data centre deployments.
