5000 Series Data Center Switches Hardware Installation Guide Installing Fan Modules into the Fan Module Slots The fan modules are hot swappable and can be replaced during operation as long as the remaining modules are installed and operating. Depending on whether you plan on positioning the ports in a hot or cold aisle, you can order a fan module with portside intake (E) or port-side exhaust (I) airflow. NOTE: The power modules support a specific airflow direction. This airflow direction of the installed power module(s) must be the same as the fan module(s) installed. By default the airflow direction of the power module and fan module installed is front-to-back. Caution: If the switch is installed for port-side exhaust airflow, you must install fan modules labeled (I) to drive the air flow from the front of the switch into the hot aisle. If the switch is installed for portside intake airflow, you must install fan modules labeled (E) to drive the air flow from the rear of the switch and out into hot aisle. Failure to install the switch with the correct airflow configuration can cause the switch to overheat and shut down.

Installing Fan Modules into the Fan Module Slots
The fan modules are hot swappable and can be replaced during operation as long as the remaining modules are
installed and operating.
Depending on whether you plan on positioning the ports in a hot or cold aisle, you can order a fan module with port-
side intake (E) or port-side exhaust (I) airflow.
NOTE:
The power modules support a specific airflow direction. This airflow direction of the
installed power module(s) must be the
same
as the fan module(s) installed.
By default
the
airflow direction of the power module and fan module installed is
front-to-back
.
Caution:
If the switch is installed for
port-side exhaust
airflow, you must install fan modules labeled
(I)
to drive the air flow from the front of the switch into the hot aisle. If the switch is installed for port-
side intake airflow, you must install fan modules labeled
(E)
to drive the air flow from the rear of the
switch and out into hot aisle. Failure to install the switch with the correct airflow configuration can
cause the switch to overheat and shut down.
