Replacing a Fan Module
The fan module is designed to be removed and replaced while the system is operating without presenting
an electrical hazard or damage to the system, if the replacement is performed promptly.
Note The airflow direction must be the same for all power suply and fan modules in the chassis. You can order
all modules with front to back airflow but you can alternatively order back to front airflow for the Cisco
Nexus 5548 UP switch modules. Back to front airflow modules have a black stripe. Make sure that all
modules have either a black strip for back to front or no stripe for front to back.
