Chassis Fan Tray
The switch houses a single fan tray located at the top-rear of the chassis. This fan tray consists of three
independently-operating fans and is the main temperature control component of the switch. The fan tray
provides cooling airflow for all NI modules and CMMs. This airflow is a crucial factor in the switch’s
overall operability. Refer to
“Chassis Airflow” on page 2-35
for an overview of chassis airflow. Also,
refer to
for important airflow considerations.
