For cooling, the rear panel of the NE2580O has five bays for hot-swap fan modules.
Five fan modules are required for redundancy. When five fan modules are used, if
there is a failure of one of the fans, the switch reports the condition, the other fans
continue to run, and the switch continues to operate normally. Each Fan module has
a power consumption of 33.6W.
You can replace one failed hot-swap fan module while the switch is operating. If a
second fan fails, the switch reports the condition and shuts down to prevent
overheating.
Note: On the rear side of the box, there are fault LEDs for each of the fan modules.
When the fan works abnormally, the red LED is lit. When the fan is under normal
operation, the green LED is lit.
Compatible fan options are listed in the
Fan operation and internal temperatures are monitored. If the air temperature
exceeds a desired threshold, the environmental monitor displays warnings.
