Chapter 7: Fans; Components - Dell PowerSwitch N3200-ON Series Installation Manual

The N3200-ON/E3200-ON Series switch, except the N3208PX-ON switch, comes from the factory with three pluggable fan
modules.
● N3208X-ON—one fan
● N3224T-ON, N3224F-ON/E3224F-ON, N3224P-ON, N3224PX-ON, N3248TE-ON, N3248P-ON/E3248P-ON, N3248X-ON,
and N3248PXE-ON/E3248PXE-ON—three pluggable fans
The N3200-ON/E3200-ON Series switch supports two airflow direction options. Do not mix airflow types in a switch. You can
use only a single airflow direction in a switch. If the airflow directions are mismatched, you must correct the mismatched airflow
direction.
● Airflow is from the I/O panel to the PSU—the red indicator is the normal airflow direction.
● Airflow is from the PSU to the I/O panel—the blue indicator is the reverse airflow direction.
NOTE: Reverse airflow is only supported on the N3224T-ON, N3248TE-ON, and N3248X-ON switches.
All fans and PSUs in a configuration must be in the same airflow direction.
Environmental factors can decrease the amount of time that is required between fan replacements. Check the environmental
factors regularly. An increase in temperature and/or particulate matter in the air might affect performance—for example, new
equipment installation.
