Installing the Airflow Sleeve (N9K-AIRFLOW-SLV)
The airflow sleeve (N9K-AIRFLOW-SLV) is installed to allow proper airflow, so that the switch is properly
cooled. This airflow sleeve is only compatible with rack mount kit (N3K-C3064-ACC-KIT).

You supply the screws to mount the airflow sleeve.
Note
Before you begin
• Verify that your shipment is complete.
• Install your rack in a secure location.
Insert the airflow sleeve into the rack and attach it as follows:
a) Holding the airflow sleeve (N9K-AIRFLOW-SLV) with both hands, position it in front of the fan side of the chassis.
b) Holding the airflow sleeve level, insert screws (12-24 or 10-32, depending on the rack type) in each of the two front
rack-mount flanges (using a total of two screws) and into the cage nuts or threaded holes in the vertical rack-mounting
rails (see the following figure).
