The S4100–ON Series (S4128F-ON and S4148F-ON) switch comes from the factory with two PSUs and four fan modules installed in the
chassis. The fan modules and the power supplies are hot-swappable.
NOTE: To run the switch, all slots must have operating fan units. If you do not install a module in each slot, the switch shuts down
in one minute.
In addition to the power supply modules, you can order and install fan modules separately.
NOTE: The S4100–ON Series switch supports two airow direction options—normal and reverse. All fans and PSUs
MUST
have
the same airow direction. If you mix the airow direction, to avoid heat damage to the switch components,
you must correct the
mixed airow direction
.
• Airow is from the I/O panel to the PSU—normal.
• Airow is from the PSU to the I/O panel—reverse.
Environmental factors can decrease the amount of time required between fan replacements. Check the environmental factors regularly. An
increase in temperature and particulate matter in the air might aect performance—for example, new equipment installation.
CAUTION
: Check the fans at six-month intervals, and replace them as necessary. Regularly monitor the speeds of the fans to
accurately determine replacement intervals.
