Fan Unit

The 4036/2036 switch has a hot swappable Fan Unit with three fans that are used to maintain
proper cooling, as shown.
In normal operation, the two fans work at 50% utilization.
In case of fan failure or high temperature detection, the fans go into Turbo mode. In case of fan
failure, the fan drawer LED and the PS/FAN LED on the rear panel blink.
When removing the fan unit, the system can continue to function up to 5 minutes before a new
fan unit is installed.
