Cisco MDS 9710 Director Fan Modules
The Cisco MDS 9710 Director has three fan modules, each with four fans, that are installed vertically at the
back of the chassis. Each fan module can be removed while the other two fan modules continue to move air
through the chassis.
The fan modules cover the crossbar fabric switching modules in the back of the chassis. Fan module 1 must
be removed to access the crossbar fabric switching modules 1 and 2, the fan module 2 must be removed to
access the crossbar fabric switching modules 3 and 4, and the fan module 3 must be removed to access the
crossbar fabric switching modules 5 and 6.
