Questions & Answers
What do Nexus fan modules do?
Fan modules (fan trays) provide the forced-air cooling that keeps Nexus switch ASICs, optics, and power supplies within safe operating temperatures. A failed fan tray is a critical, replace-immediately event.
Are Nexus fan modules hot-swappable?
Yes. Nexus fan trays are field-replaceable and hot-swappable, but replace them quickly, since most chassis tolerate a removed fan tray only for a short window before thermal shutdown.
What does red vs blue coloring on Nexus fans mean?
Cisco color-codes airflow: burgundy or red indicates port-side exhaust and blue indicates port-side intake. All fans and PSUs in one chassis must use the same airflow direction.
Why does airflow direction matter in a Nexus switch?
Your switch's airflow must match the hot aisle and cold aisle layout of the rack. Mismatched airflow pulls hot exhaust air into the chassis, causing overheating and potential shutdown.
How do I know which fan module fits my Nexus switch?
Fan trays are chassis-specific, for example NXA-FAN-30CFM variants for Nexus 9300 models or N9K-C9504-FAN for modular chassis. Match the exact fan SKU and airflow suffix to your switch model.
What happens if a Nexus fan fails?
Remaining fans spin faster to compensate and the switch raises alarms. Run redundancy is temporary, so replace the failed module promptly to avoid thermal risk.
Can I clean and reuse a failing fan module?
No. Fan modules are sealed FRUs, so a degraded or noisy fan should be replaced, not serviced. Genuine replacements restore full cooling redundancy.
Where can I buy genuine Nexus fan modules?
ORM Systems stocks genuine fan trays for Nexus 3000, 5000, 7000, and 9000 platforms in both airflow directions, tested and warrantied, with bulk pricing and fast delivery worldwide.
