Installation Guidelines
Observe these guidelines when removing or installing a fan module:
• Do not force the fan module into the slot. This can damage the pins on the switch if they are not aligned
with the module.
• A fan module that is only partially connected to the switch can disrupt the system operation.
• The switch supports hot swapping of the fan module. You can remove and replace the module without
interrupting normal switch operation.
