The rear panel of the X695 switch includes:
•
Two power supply bays for 750 W AC or DC power supplies.
•
Six bays for replaceable fan modules.
Note
The color of the tab on the fan tray and power supply indicates the airflow direction:
◦
Red: front-to-back
◦
Blue: back-to-front
The operating-system software cannot display the airflow direction.

Use the serial console port on the front panel to connect a terminal and perform local management. You
can use an Ethernet management port to connect the system to a parallel management network for
administration. Alternatively, you can use an Ethernet cable to connect this port directly to a laptop to
view and locally manage the switch configuration. The Ethernet management port supports
10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
The USB port can be used for attaching a removable memory module.
Switch cooling is provided by field-replaceable fan modules. Fan modules are available in two different
models that direct the airflow either from front to back or from back to front. All installed fan modules
must be of the same model, so that they all direct the airflow in the same direction.
Two power supply bays accommodate 750 W AC or DC power supplies. Power supplies have integrated
cooling fans that operate independently of the switch fans. Like the fan modules, the power supplies are
available in models with either front-to-back or back-to-front cooling airflow.
Both front-to-back and back-to-front airflow options are available. However, on any given X695 switch,
air must flow in the same direction for all installed fan modules and power supplies.
