Installing a Fan Module
Before you begin
• A fan slot must be open and ready for the new fan module to be installed.
• You must have a new fan module on hand and ready to install within one minute of removing the original
fan module if the switch is operating.
• The new fan module must have the same airflow direction as the other fan and power supply modules
installed in the switch. All of these modules must have either burgundy coloring (port-side intake airflow)
or they must all have blue coloring (port-side exhaust airflow).

Holding the fan module by its handle, align the back of the fan module (the side with the electrical connectors) to the
open fan slot in the chassis.
Step 2
Slide the fan module into the slot until it clicks in place.
