Guidelines to install fans

Adhere to these guidelines when removing or installing a fan module on Cisco C9350 series smart switches.

  • Do not force the fan module into the slot. This can damage the pins on the switch if they are not aligned with the module.

  • A fan module that is only partially connected to the switch can disrupt the system operation.

  • The switch supports hot swapping of the fan module. You can remove and replace the module without interrupting the normal switch operation.

To install the fan module in the fan slot, firmly push it in, applying pressure to the end of the module, not the extraction handles. When correctly inserted, the fan module is flush with the switch rear panel. When the fan is operating, a green LED is on in the top left corner of the fan.
