1–General Description Fan Blades

Fan Blades

The switch is equipped with two Fan blades that cool the switch. Both Fan blades must be installed and operational to provide adequate cooling for the switch. The Fan blades are hot pluggable and interchangeable. Refer to “Replacing Fan Blades” on page 5-21for information about removing and installing Fan blades.

Fan blades are known by their blade IDs and blade type. The blade IDs (FAN0, FAN1) indicate the blade type and location in the switch chassis. The blade type (FANFB, FANBF) indicate the blade type and air flow direction. Air flow direction can be front-to-back or back-to-front. In addition to the blade ID, a label on the body of the Fan blade indicates the air flow direction.

CAUTION!

To prevent overheating and damage to switch circuits, Power Supply and Fan blades must have the same air flow direction. The System Fault LED will illuminate if the Power Supply and Fan blades do not have the same air flow direction.

Each Fan blade has a set of LEDs as shown in Figure 1-6, that indicate the Fan blade operational status. The Fan blade LEDs are as follows:

Fan Power LED (Green)–This LED illuminates to indicate that the Fan blade is receiving power.

Fan Fault LED (Amber)–This LED illuminates to indicate that the Fan blade has a fault. This LED and the Chassis Fault LED illuminate together.

Fan Beacon LED (White)–This LED illuminates in response to a command issued from the management workstation to help locate a Fan blade.
