Overview of Fan Trays
Fan trays provide airflow through the switch for cooling. Each fan tray contains multiple fans to provide
redundancy. The switch can continue functioning in the following situations:
•
One or more fans fail within a fan tray
—
Even with multiple fan failures, the switch can continue
functioning. When a fan fails within a tray, the functioning fans in the module increase their speed to
compensate for the failed fans.
•
The fan tray is removed for replacement
—
The fan tray is designed to be removed and replaced while
the switch is operating without presenting an electrical hazard or damage to the switch.
When a fan fails or when you remove a fan tray, the remaining operating fans speed up to compensate for
the loss of fans. This process can increase the noise made by the fan trays until you replace the missing
fan tray or replace the defective fan tray.
