Appendix D Cooling system
The cooling system of the switch includes the air vents in the chassis, fan trays, and built-in fans of hot
swappable power modules. For correct operation of this cooling system, you must consider the site
ventilation design when you plan the installation site for the switch.
Cooling system of the S5560-HI switches except for
S5560-56C-PWR-HI
All S5560-HI switches except for the S5560-56C-PWR-HI switch support hot-swapping of fan trays. The
switches use the LSWM1FANSCE and LSWM1FANSCBE fan trays.
•
When the LSWM1FANSCE fan tray is used, ambient air flows in through the air vents in the fan tray
and power module panels, circulates through the chassis and the power modules, and exhausts
through the air vents in the port side panel, as shown in
.
•
When the LSWM1FANSCBE fan tray is used, ambient air flows in through the air vents in the
port-side panel and power module panel, circulates through the chassis and the power modules,
and exhausts through the air vents in the fan tray panel, as shown in
.
