N5K-C5010P-LAB-S is a managed Layer 2 data center switching bundle built around a Nexus 5010 chassis with 20 fixed 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ interfaces and one expansion slot. The non-PoE configuration supports Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet for unified server access, with native Fibre Channel connections determined by the installed expansion module. Network connections sit at the rear, while front-to-back airflow follows server-rack cooling arrangements. The Nexus 5000 architecture supports consolidated LAN and SAN connections rather than powered campus endpoints. Unlike the discontinued N5K-C5010P-LAB-E Ethernet lab bundle, this ordering configuration identifies a Unified Fabric storage lab bundle. The full bundle identifier distinguishes the intended configuration from a bare chassis purchase.

520 Gbps switching capacity establishes the chassis throughput ceiling; server connections and uplinks still require a port allocation matched to the intended traffic paths. 410W maximum system consumption is the value to carry into the rack power plan rather than the output rating of a N5K-PAC-550W supply. N5K-C5010P-LAB-S runs NX-OS, with CLI access over SSH and SNMP or XML interfaces for external management tools. Cisco Fabric Manager provides administration for Fibre Channel and FCoE services. Two N5K-C5010-FAN= fan modules contain 12 fans, while the 0°C to 40°C operating range sets the inlet-temperature limit. The chassis occupies one rack unit and extends 762 mm into the cabinet, so allow for cable bends and power-connection access. Native 40-Gigabit Ethernet expansion is unavailable; the expansion slot cannot take a faster Ethernet aggregation card.
ORM Systems supplies N5K-C5010P-LAB-S new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, module bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify the complete configuration, accessories, condition, and quantity on the PO; Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty and service ended November 30, 2017. Enterprise and volume orders accept PO purchasing, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock/RMA across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

Reproducing an existing unified-fabric lab calls for matching native storage interfaces, not only the chassis name. The lab-bundle configuration uses 4-Gbps native Fibre Channel rather than the 8-Gbps option in regular storage bundles. Before the PO, specify the storage connection speed and confirm the installed module and entitlement inventory.
Maintaining an installed chassis calls for a spare-parts list that separates a complete bundle from individual components. The discontinued N5K-PAC-550W= is the Nexus 5010 AC power-supply spare, so a chassis purchase should not substitute for a component repair requirement. Before the PO, identify the failed part and specify the required spare quantity.
When a rack still contains Gigabit Ethernet server adapters, mixed-speed connections must be assigned to the correct interfaces. Only the first eight fixed ports support both Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Before the PO, map legacy adapter connections to those ports and specify compatible transceivers for each link.
Native 25G or 100G connectivity
Fixed Ethernet interfaces operate at 10GbE, and the supported expansion modules do not add native 25G or 100G ports. Higher-speed connections require different hardware.
Layer 3 server gateway services
The Nexus 5010 provides Layer 2 switching rather than Layer 3 gateway services. Inter-VLAN forwarding must remain on separate routing hardware.
Ongoing Cisco hardware service coverage
Cisco service for this bundle ended November 30, 2017. The hardware cannot meet a requirement for ongoing Cisco support, regardless of its purchase condition.

N5K-C5010P-LAB-S identifies the Nexus 5010 Unified Fabric solutions kit. N5K identifies the Nexus 5000 family, C5010P identifies the Nexus 5010 chassis, and LAB-S denotes the storage lab bundle. Keep LAB-S intact when ordering because the complete identifier distinguishes this bundle from the Ethernet lab configuration.
N5K-C5010P-LAB-S is managed through the NX-OS CLI over SSH, plus SNMP and XML interfaces for external tools. Cisco Fabric Manager handles Fibre Channel and FCoE administration. The serial console and out-of-band Ethernet management port support local setup and a management network separate from the data links.
N5K-C5010P-LAB-S is discontinued: end of sale was November 27, 2012, and Cisco service ended November 30, 2017. Buying unused hardware does not restart those milestones. Evaluate the bundle as legacy inventory rather than as equipment eligible for a new, ongoing Cisco hardware service lifecycle.
ORM Systems offers N5K-C5010P-LAB-S new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty and service have ended.
N5K-C5010P-LAB-S uses NX-OS and is the storage-oriented lab configuration; N5010-SSK9= is the Nexus 5010 Storage Protocols Services license. Require a written list of supplied entitlements and any transfer conditions. An installed expansion module establishes physical interfaces, not the software rights included with the order.
N5K-C5010P-LAB-S has 20 fixed 10-Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports on its Nexus 5010 chassis. The first eight can also operate at Gigabit Ethernet speed. Additional interfaces depend on the installed expansion module, so confirm the complete port inventory rather than treating the bundle label as a fixed expansion configuration.
Nexus 5010 accepts N5K-M1600 for six additional 10GbE ports, N5K-M1404 for four 10GbE and four 1/2/4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports, N5K-M1008 for eight 1/2/4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports, or N5K-M1060 for six 1/2/4/8-Gbps Fibre Channel ports. Only one expansion module fits at a time, so specify the installed module on the quote.
Yes, the Nexus 5010 supports two N5K-PAC-550W AC power supplies and can operate with one N5K-PAC-550W. Confirm the installed quantity and regional power cords in the quote. Hardware support for a redundant pair does not establish the supply quantity included in a particular new or refurbished order.
Nexus 5010 supports SFP-10G-SR optical transceivers and SFP-H10GB-CU1M, SFP-H10GB-CU3M, or SFP-H10GB-CU5M direct-attach cables for Ethernet links. SFP-10G-LR is supported for uplinks. Match the selected part to the link distance and remote interface, and confirm the accessories included in the bundle before ordering additional quantities.
N5K-C5010P-LAB-S is a Unified Fabric storage lab bundle, whereas N5K-C5010P-LAB-E is an Ethernet lab bundle. Both are discontinued Nexus 5010 ordering configurations. The storage bundle suits a legacy storage-lab requirement; the Ethernet bundle suits a legacy Ethernet-only lab, subject to the exact hardware and software inventory supplied.
N5K-C5010P-LAB-S is the lab bundle associated with 4-Gbps native Fibre Channel modules, while N5K-C5010P-B-S is the 8-Gbps Unified Fabric solutions kit. Both are discontinued. The former suits matching an existing 4-Gbps lab; the latter suits an installed environment whose legacy storage connections require the 8-Gbps bundle configuration.
N5K-C5010P-LAB-S uses a chassis with 20 fixed 10GbE ports; N5K-C5020P-LAB-S uses a chassis with 40 fixed 10GbE ports. Both bundles are discontinued. The smaller configuration suits a legacy rack needing fewer connections, while the larger configuration suits a legacy requirement for more fixed server-facing Ethernet ports.
No, N5K-C5010P-LAB-S provides Layer 2 Ethernet switching rather than Layer 3 gateway services. Server VLANs needing inter-VLAN routing must use separate routing hardware. A storage-service license or a Fibre Channel expansion module does not change the Nexus 5010 into a routed-access switch.
Nexus 5010 has 410W maximum system consumption; 340W is the typical operating figure. Use the maximum system value for rack power allocation rather than assuming the typical figure covers every configuration. N5K-PAC-550W is rated for 550W output, which describes the supply's capacity rather than chassis draw.
