when servicing.
Statement 1034
Warning
During this procedure, wear grounding wrist straps to avoid ESD damage to the switch.
Caution
The Cisco MDS 9132T Switch is only supported for continuous operation with both power supplies and
all fan modules installed, and with all fans working.
Note
With two power supplies installed, if one power supply fails, the system can continue to function normally
on a single healthy power supply. However, the failed power supply should be replaced as soon as possible
to provide redundancy. All fan modules are required to be operational to ensure proper cooling of the switches.
