Chassis Fan Trays
The chassis fan assembly provides cooling air for the supervisor engine and the switching modules.
Table 2-1
lists the Catalyst 6500 series switch chassis along with the supported and unsupported fan
trays.
Table 2-2
lists the chassis air flow architecture and requirements for the Catalyst 6500 series
switches. If an individual fan within the assembly fails, the FAN STATUS LED turns red. Individual fans
within a fan tray assembly cannot be replaced; you must replace the entire fan tray assembly. To replace
a fan tray assembly, see the
“Removing and Installing the Fan Tray” section on page 4-82
.
Refer to your software configuration guide for information on environmental monitoring.
