Fan module installation

The fan modules are field replaceable. Module slot 1 is on the left side of the switch; module slot 5 is on the right side of the

switch.

CAUTION:

DO NOT mix airflow directions. All reverse or normal fans must use the same airflow direction. If you

mix the airflow direction, the switch detects the discrepancy, issues an alarm, and may autoshutdown to avoid

heat damage to the components. If an autoshutdown occurs, correct the mixed airflow direction.

1. Take the fan module out of the shipping box.

2. Slide the module into the bay.

Environmental factors can decrease the amount of time required between air filter replacements. Check the environmental

factors regularly. An increase in temperature and/or particulate matter in the air might affect performance.

CAUTION:

Check the fan air filters at six-month intervals and replace them as necessary. To accurately

determine air filter replacement intervals, regularly monitor the speeds of the cooling fans. An increase in

overall fan speed may indicate a clogged filter.

You must replace the fan air filters with new filters; you cannot clean and reuse the old fan air filters. Replacement filter media

must meet the requirements found in GR-63-CORE.

● Minimum dust arrestance of 65%, per ASHRAE Standard 52.1-1992. OR

● Minimum Efficiency Rating Value (MERV) of 2, per ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 52.2-2007.

CAUTION:

For Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) compliance, use NEBS approved filters.

Use fan air filters with reverse blue-banded air flow switches—PSUs and fans. You can replace the air filters individually on each

fan within the switch without powering down a PSU module or disrupting traffic.

The fan air filter media slides into the frame from the top. No tools are required.

1. Determine which filters to replace.

2. Unlatch and remove the first module that needs the filter replaced.
