You must install only power supplies that have
AFI
labels in switches in which the fan
modules have
AIR IN (AFI)
labels.
Front-to-Back Airflow
In the EX4550 switches that have front-to-back airflow, the air intake to cool the chassis
is through the vents on the front panel of the switch, and hot air exhausts through the
vents on the rear panel. See
Figure 23 on page 38
.

You must install only power supplies that have
AFO
labels in switches in which the fan
modules have
AIR OUT (AFO)
labels.
Do Not Install Components with Different Airflow in the Switch
Do not mix power supplies with different airflow labels (
AFI
and
AFO
) and fan modules
with different airflow labels (
AIR IN (AFI)
and
AIR OUT (AFO)
) in the same chassis. If the
fan modules have
AIR IN (AFI)
labels, the power supplies must have
AFI
labels; if the fan
modules have
AIR OUT (AFO)
labels, the power supplies must have
AFO
labels.
Mixing components with different airflows in the same chassis hampers the performance
of the cooling system of the switch and leads to overheating of the chassis.
CAUTION:
The system raises an alarm if a fan module fails or if the ambient
temperature inside the chassis rises above the acceptable range. If the
temperature inside the chassis rises above the threshold temperature, the
system shuts down automatically.
Positioning the Switch
In front-to-back airflow, indicated by the label
AIR OUT (AFO)
on the fan modules and
the label
AFO
on the power supplies, hot air exhausts through the vents on the rear panel
