Power Supply and Fan Assembly Overview
The Brocade G720 chassis has two 350W power supply and fan assemblies. The power supply and fan assembly units
can be removed and replaced without special tools. The device can continue operating during the replacement.

The device supports the following types of power supplies. (DC power is not supported.)
•
AC power supply with nonport-side air exhaust. This unit moves the air from the port side to the nonport side of the
device.
•
AC power supply with nonport-side air intake. This unit moves the air from the nonport side to the port side of the
device.
NOTE
The two power supply and fan assemblies that are concurrently installed in the chassis must be of the same
power type, model (airflow direction), and part number. If the airflow directions are different, an error is
generated on the console.
NOTE
The power supply and fan assembly units are hot-swappable if they are replaced one at a time. They are
identical and fit into either slot.
NOTE
The device can operate all the ports with one power supply and fan assembly unit if you do not require
redundancy.
The device fans are fixed inside the combined power supply and fan assemblies to provide necessary airflow to cool the
whole system. The fans operate at three speeds: low, normal, and high. The system software sets the fan speed and
measures it through the tachometer interface.
