Fan assemby overview
The ExtremeSwitching SLX 9030/9030-T device includes six redundant, hot-swappable fan units. However, the switch is capable of
running on one power supply and five fans. The second power supply and sixth fan provide redundancy.
If the second power supply and sixth fan slots are unused, you must cover them with filler panels.
NOTE
Extreme Networks recommends that the SLX 9030/9030-T device operate with two power supplies and six fan assemblies
installed. If a power supply or fan assembly fails, it must be replaced as soon as possible.
The fan assemblies in the SLX 9030/9030-T device chassis can be removed and replaced without special tools. The device can
continue operating during the replacement.
The device supports the following types of fan assemblies:
• Fan assembly with nonport-side air exhaust. This unit moves the air from the port-side to the nonport-side of the device.
• Fan assembly supply with nonport-side air intake. This unit moves the air from the nonport-side to the port-side of the device.
