Chapter 1 Overview
Never leave a power supply slot empty. If you remove a power supply, replace it with another one. If you
Note
do not have a replacement power supply, leave the non-functioning one in place until you can replace it.

Fan Module

The Cisco Nexus 5696Q switch has four fan modules that are hot-swappable. Although the switch can
function when a fan stops functioning within a fan module, if a whole fan module stops functioning, you
must replace the fan module. The fan modules operate in N+1 redundancy mode. The Cisco Nexus
5696Q switch supports both the port side intake and port side exhaust airflow.
The bicolor status LED indicates fan tray health. Green indicates normal operation, while amber
indicates a fan failure.

Caution You must order all fan modules and power supplies in the same chassis so that they have the same
direction of airflow with coolant air entering the chassis from the cold aisle and exhausting to the hot
aisle. To change the airflow direction of the chassis, you must power down the switch before swapping
out all fan and power supply modules.
