Fan Assemblies
The fan assembly units in the chassis can be removed and replaced without special tools. The device can continue
operating during the replacement.
The device supports the following types of fan assemblies:
•
Fan assembly with nonport-side air exhaust. This unit moves the air from the port side to the nonport side of the
device.
•
Fan assembly with nonport-side air intake. This unit moves the air from the nonport side to the port side of the device.

The device fans are fixed inside the fan assemblies to provide necessary airflow to cool the whole system. Two fans are
located in each unit. The system software sets the speed and measures it through the tachometer interface.
Observe the following operational notes for fan assemblies in the device:
•
The three 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.
•
The fan assembly units are hot-swappable and can be replaced one at a time. They are identical and install into any
fan slot.
•
The device can operate all the ports with one faulty fan assembly if you do not require redundancy.
