Installing a Fan Module
Fan Module Overview
Depending on the switch model, five individual fan modules (C9500-32C and Catalyst 9500 Series switches)
or two fan trays with dual-stacked fans (C9500-24Y4C, C9500-48Y4C and C9500-32QC) are available. In
models using 5 fan modules, the switch can operate with 4 operational fans and 1 nonfunctional fan. Any
failed fan should be replaced as soon as possible to avoid service interruption due to a second fan fault.
For the switch to boot-up, ensure the following conditions are met.
• the switches using FAN-T4-R and C9K-T2-FANTRAY= modules must at a minimum have 4 fans
operating normally
• the switches using C9K-T1-FANTRAY modules must have 2 fan tray modules with all the fans operating
normally
If the switch fails to meet the minimum number of required fans, the switch shuts down automatically to
prevent the system from overheating.
