Note: *Power Supply fans at 100%
Note: Acoustic noise levels shown here represent noise emitted by the switch at
room ambient temperatures. Values are based on a fully congured system consisting
of two PSUs and two I/O modules operating under full load. Normal operating
temperature range: 0°C to 50°C.
Fan Speed and Temperature Variation
The speed of the fan increases only when the temperature of the device increases. Fan
speed is not dependent on any fan failures.

Full 16,000 (typ) 13,500 (typ) 15.8W per module*
Low 3,200 (typ) 2,800 (typ)
* Some units are equipped with (1) fan module, while others are equipped with 2. Total
fan power is equal to the number of installed fan modules multiplied by the fan power
for each module.
