Chapter 2
Preparing for Installation
Plan ahead. Your Catalyst 6500 series switches currently installed in an enclosed or partially
•
enclosed rack might meet ambient air temperature and air flow requirements now. However, if you
add more chassis to the rack or you add more modules to a chassis in the rack, the additional heat
generated might cause the ambient air temperature within the rack to exceed 40°C (104°F) and can
cause minor alarms.
If an individual fan within the assembly fails, the FAN STATUS LED turns red. Individual fans cannot
be replaced. To replace a fan assembly, see the
page
4-57.
Refer to your software configuration guide for information on environmental monitoring.
