Figure 27: Fan Module Used in an EX4300 Switch
You must remove only one fan module at a time for replacement from the rear panel of
the chassis. The switch continues to operate for a limited period of time (30 seconds)
during the replacement of the fan module without thermal shutdown.
NOTE: Both the fan modules must be installed for optimal functioning of
the switch.
The fan modules are available in two models that have different airflow
directions—back-to-front (air enters through the back of the switch), indicated by label
AIR IN (AFI), and front-to-back (air exhausts through the back of the switch), indicated
by label AIR OUT (AFO). Table 24 on page 44 lists the available fan module models and
the direction of airflow in them.
