Figure 9: QFX5110 Fan Module
You remove and replace a fan module from the FRU end 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: All fan modules must be installed for optimal operation of the switch.
The fan modules are available in two product SKUs that have different airflow directions,
airflow in and airflow out. Airflow in is indicated on the module by the azure blue color
and a label marked AIR IN. Airflow in this version of the fan module bring air into the fans
and power supplies and exhaust air through the ports. Likewise, airflow out is indicated
by a gold color and a label marked AIR OUT. Airflow out versions of the fan module brings
air into the switch through the vents around the ports and exhaust air through the fans
and power supplies. Table 12 on page 26 lists the available fan module product SKUs
and the direction of airflow in them.
