Identifying the airflow direction
The power supply and fan assemblies are identied by the following airflow directions:
• Intake power supply and fan assembly with an orange "I" label or without any label: Pulls air from
the nonport-side of the switch and exhausts it out the port side.
– Nonport-side air intake
– Port-side air exhaust
– Back-to-front (nonport-side to port-side)
airflow
– Part numbers ending with -R
• Exhaust power supply and fan assembly with a green "E" label: Pulls air from the port side of the
switch and exhausts it out the nonport-side.
– Nonport-side air exhaust
– Port-side air intake
– Front-to-back (port-side to nonport-side)
airflow
– Part numbers ending with -F
AIR_FLOW and ENCR Error Monitoring
Starting with FOS 9.0.0, MAPS added support for the following monitoring systems:
• FAN_AIRFLOW_MISMATCH
• ENCR_BLK
• ENCR_DISC
• ENCR_SHRT_FRM
Power supply and fan assembly unit fault indicators
Use one of the following methods to determine the status of the power supply and fan assemblies:
• Check the power supply and fan assembly status LED. See “Interpreting nonport-side LEDs” on page
57.
• In Web Tools, click the Power Status icon.
• Enter the psShow command at the prompt to display power supply and fan assembly status, as shown
in the following example:
Device:admin> psshow
Power Supply #1 is OK
Power Supply #2 is OK
Power supply and fan assembly task guide
You can perform an easy set of steps to install or replace a power supply and fan assembly or to replace
