ATTENTION

Be sure that all combined FRUs in the chassis have the same airflow direction.

Under the heading “Replacing the fan assembly” on page 48, add a step after step 5 and before the paragraph that says “"You can enter one of the following commands at the command line prompt to display fan status:”

Step 6. If you have changed the airflow direction in the chassis by installing three FRUs with a new airflow direction, you must run the command chassis fan airflow-direction[port-side-direction], where the [port-side-direction]operands are either port-side-intakeor port-side-exhaust, depending on which direction the airflow is directed.

switch# chassis fan airflow-direction port-side-exhaust Previous configuration : port-side-intake

Current configuration : port-side-exhaust

System fan airflow-direction changes will be effective after reboot!! Switch#

ATTENTION

Be sure that all fan assemblies in the chassis have the same airflow direction.
