NE2572 Installation Guide
The rear panel of the NE2572 has Six bays for hot-swap fan modules. Six active fan
modules are required for redundancy.
With active fan modules in all fan bays, if one fan fails, the switch will send an error
message and continue operation. You can then replace the failed fan without
powering off the switch or disrupting switch functions. If a second fan fails, the
switch will send another error message, write a log message to flash memory, and
shut down to prevent overheating.
To remove a hot-swap fan module, complete the following steps:
Attention: If the inlet air temperature is above 35°C (95°F) while the switch is in
operation, replace the fan module within five minutes to avoid overheating the
switch.
