NXA-FAN-30CFM-F Overview

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is a Cisco Nexus individual fan module for Nexus fabric extender and data center switch platforms that require the forward airflow spare. It installs in Cisco Nexus 2248PQ and named Nexus 3000 or 3100 chassis including Nexus 3132Q, 3132Q-V, 3132Q-X, 3132Q-XL, 3172PQ, 3172PQ-XL, 3172TQ, 3172TQ-XL, 3232C, 31108PC-V, and 31108TC-V. The compatibility list is intentionally model-bound; the same Nexus family name alone is not enough to qualify the part for a chassis. The cooling type is Fan, and the mechanical form is a single field-replaceable module for the chassis fan bay rather than a full fan tray or power-supply assembly. Its airflow orientation is port-side exhaust, front-to-back, so it must be matched with power supplies and the rest of the installed cooling set using the same airflow scheme. NXA-FAN-30CFM-B is the closest airflow sibling and differs by port-side intake, back-to-front direction.

30 CFM of rated airflow defines the capacity profile for this fan module in supported Cisco Nexus platforms. The module helps maintain the approved thermal path for hot-aisle and cold-aisle layouts where the power-supply side faces the cold aisle and the port side faces the hot aisle. NXA-FAN-30CFM-F aligns with Nexus 2000 deployments using forward-airflow power supplies such as N2200-PAC-400W or N2200-PDC-400W, and it is also listed as the port-side exhaust fan option across several Nexus 3000 or 3100 one-rack-unit models. This direction gives technicians a clear replacement rule: match both the fan and the power-supply airflow before the chassis returns to service. The low 0.11 kg component weight supports straightforward handling during spare replacement while keeping procurement focused on chassis fit, airflow direction, and the exact manufacturer part number.

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F supports replacement work in the fan bay when an installed module fails, reports an alarm, or becomes noisy enough to require an exact airflow-matched spare. For older deployed chassis generations, the replacement-continuity angle matters more than current platform refresh language. The hot-swappable field-replaceable design lets qualified technicians replace the module during a maintenance window while keeping cooling direction consistent across the chassis. ORM Systems supplies this fan module in new and certified refurbished condition, with spin-up and vibration checks, airflow-direction verification, and connector seating inspection before dispatch. Request a quote with quantity, condition, target chassis, installed power-supply airflow, and warranty requirements so enterprise buyers can standardize fleet spares without mixing incompatible cooling directions across deployed Nexus access and fabric extender racks.

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F Use Case

Fabric Extender Thermal Replacement

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F fits the maintenance role for Cisco Nexus 2248PQ fabric extender environments that use port-side exhaust airflow. The replacement process starts with chassis identification, airflow-direction confirmation, and fan-bay access during an approved service window. Technicians install the forward-airflow module, verify environmental status, and keep the fan set aligned with matching N2200-PAC-400W or N2200-PDC-400W power supplies where those supplies are present. This workflow keeps the fabric extender in the intended rack-cooling pattern after a failed fan event. The network gains restored cooling continuity without introducing a reverse-airflow spare into the fabric extender rack.

Top-of-Rack Airflow Alignment

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F supports top-of-rack Nexus 3000 or 3100 placements where the switch cooling plan uses port-side exhaust airflow. Operations teams match the fan to documented chassis such as Nexus 3132Q, 3172PQ-XL, 3232C, or 31108TC-V, then align fan and power-supply direction before releasing the rack after maintenance. The replacement record captures part number, bay position, and airflow orientation for later audit. The SKU serves the thermal layer rather than the packet path, yet the replacement preserves the chassis conditions needed for stable access-layer switching.

Fleet Spare Standardization

Enterprise spare programs use this fan module as a controlled forward-airflow item for compatible Cisco Nexus 2000, 3000, and 3100 hardware. Inventory teams label NXA-FAN-30CFM-F separately from NXA-FAN-30CFM-B, record the supported chassis list, and reserve tested units for fan alarms or noisy module replacement. Refurbished units go through spin-up, vibration, connector, and airflow-direction checks before dispatch. Procurement keeps condition and warranty expectations attached to each quote. The operation gains a cleaner spares pool with fewer airflow mismatches during urgent maintenance.

Questions & Answers

What is NXA-FAN-30CFM-F?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is a Cisco Nexus individual fan module for supported Nexus fabric extender and data center switch chassis. It is a 30 CFM forward-airflow fan with port-side exhaust orientation. Buyers use this exact part number when replacing a failed or noisy fan in a compatible Nexus 2248PQ or documented Nexus 3000 or 3100 platform.

What does the NXA-FAN-30CFM-F model number identify?

The model number identifies a Cisco Nexus fan module with 30 CFM airflow and the F airflow variant. For this SKU, F maps to forward airflow, also described as port-side exhaust and front-to-back airflow. The exact suffix matters because NXA-FAN-30CFM-B is the reverse-airflow sibling for port-side intake deployments.

What hardware type is NXA-FAN-30CFM-F?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is a cooling fan module, not a switch, power supply, license, or transceiver. It is a field-replaceable cooling component used inside compatible Cisco Nexus chassis. The part belongs in the Cooling Solutions category because its purchasing purpose is chassis airflow replacement, airflow-direction matching, and thermal continuity for deployed Nexus hardware.

Where does NXA-FAN-30CFM-F sit in the Cisco Nexus lineup?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F sits among Cisco Nexus spare cooling components for Nexus 2000 fabric extenders and selected Nexus 3000 or 3100 switches. It is not a universal fan for every Nexus chassis. Exact fit depends on the chassis model, airflow direction, and installed power supplies, so buyers should match the SKU against the supported platform list before ordering.

What airflow direction does NXA-FAN-30CFM-F use?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F uses forward airflow, described as port-side exhaust and front-to-back airflow. This direction supports rack layouts where air enters from the power-supply or fan side and exhausts toward the port side. The airflow direction must match the installed fan and power-supply set because mixed cooling directions create an incorrect thermal path inside the chassis.

How much airflow is NXA-FAN-30CFM-F rated for?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is identified as a 30 CFM fan module. CFM, or cubic feet per minute, is the airflow rating buyers use to distinguish this small Nexus fan from larger Cisco fan modules such as 35 CFM, 160 CFM, or chassis-specific fan trays. Other performance figures, including noise and variable fan speed, are not published as fixed SKU specs.

Is NXA-FAN-30CFM-F hot-swappable?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is treated as a hot-swappable field-replaceable fan module in compatible Cisco Nexus platforms. Replacement should follow the hardware guide for the exact chassis, including any time limits, ESD handling, and fan bay procedures. Hot-swap support does not remove the need to keep the airflow direction aligned with matching power supplies and remaining fans.

What is the weight of NXA-FAN-30CFM-F?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is listed at 0.25 lb, or 0.11 kg. That low component weight helps distinguish it from full fan trays and power supplies. Dimensions are not published as exact manufacturer values for this SKU, so product records should avoid filling height, width, or depth from unsupported estimates.

Is NXA-FAN-30CFM-F a redundant fan kit?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is an individual fan module, not a redundant fan kit. Redundancy is provided by the compatible chassis design when the required number of working fans is installed. For purchasing, the important distinction is that this SKU replaces one fan position and must match the same airflow direction as the rest of the chassis cooling configuration.

What power-supply airflow should be paired with NXA-FAN-30CFM-F?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F should be paired with port-side exhaust, forward-airflow power supplies in supported Nexus chassis. Cisco Nexus 2000 deployments list N2200-PAC-400W and N2200-PDC-400W with the forward-airflow fan set, while several Nexus 3000 platforms list matching exhaust power-supply options. Mixing intake and exhaust airflow modules should be avoided during replacement planning.

What is NXA-FAN-30CFM-F used for?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is used to replace or standardize the forward-airflow fan module in compatible Cisco Nexus hardware. Typical triggers include fan alarms, failed fan status, unusual vibration, or spares planning for deployed Nexus 2248PQ, Nexus 3132Q, Nexus 3172, Nexus 3232C, or Nexus 31108 platforms. The goal is restored chassis airflow with the correct direction.

What environment size fits NXA-FAN-30CFM-F?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F fits deployed data center access and fabric extender environments that already use compatible Cisco Nexus chassis. It is not sized by user count or traffic volume; it is selected by chassis model and airflow design. Buyers managing multiple Nexus 2000, 3000, or 3100 systems often stock this SKU for fast replacement continuity.

How does NXA-FAN-30CFM-F fit hot-aisle and cold-aisle layouts?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F fits port-side exhaust layouts where front-to-back airflow aligns with the rack cooling plan. In Cisco Nexus 2000 guidance, that airflow places the power-supply side toward the cold aisle and the port side toward the hot aisle. The same airflow logic matters when replacing fans in supported Nexus 3000 or 3100 one-rack-unit switches.

Why keep NXA-FAN-30CFM-F as a spare?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is a practical spare for fleets that include compatible Cisco Nexus 2248PQ, 3132Q, 3172, 3232C, or 31108 models with port-side exhaust airflow. A stocked, tested fan module reduces delays after a fan alert. The spare must be stored and labeled by airflow direction so technicians do not install the reverse-airflow sibling by mistake.

Is NXA-FAN-30CFM-F compatible with Cisco Nexus 2248PQ?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F fits Cisco Nexus 2248PQ, making it one of the clearest exact platform matches for this SKU. Buyers should still verify the installed airflow direction and matching power supplies before replacement because the reverse-airflow NXA-FAN-30CFM-B serves a different rack cooling orientation.

Which Cisco Nexus 3000 models list NXA-FAN-30CFM-F as a fan option?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is listed as a port-side exhaust fan option for documented Nexus 3000 or 3100 models including Nexus 3132Q, 3132Q-V, 3132Q-X, 3132Q-XL, 3172PQ, 3172PQ-XL, 3172TQ, 3172TQ-XL, 3232C, 31108PC-V, and 31108TC-V. Buyers should use the exact chassis model, not a broad series label, when confirming the replacement.

Is NXA-FAN-30CFM-F compatible with every Cisco Nexus 9000 switch?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F should not be treated as a universal Cisco Nexus 9000 fan. Newer Nexus 9000 platforms often use different fan SKUs, such as NXA-SFAN-30CFM-PE, NXA-SFAN-35CFM-PE, or NXA-FAN-160CFM-PE. Buyers should match the exact chassis hardware guide before using this part in any Nexus 9000 replacement plan.

Which power supplies align with NXA-FAN-30CFM-F deployments?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F aligns with forward-airflow power-supply choices documented for compatible Nexus systems. Examples include N2200-PAC-400W and N2200-PDC-400W in Nexus 2000 deployments, plus port-side exhaust power supplies such as NXA-PAC-500W in certain Nexus 3000 models. The chassis should run a consistent intake or exhaust airflow set across fans and power supplies.

How does NXA-FAN-30CFM-F compare with NXA-FAN-30CFM-B?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F and NXA-FAN-30CFM-B are closest airflow siblings in the same 30 CFM Nexus fan family. NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is the forward-airflow, port-side exhaust, front-to-back option. NXA-FAN-30CFM-B is the reverse-airflow, port-side intake, back-to-front option. The selection must match the chassis airflow plan and installed power-supply direction during replacement planning.

How does NXA-FAN-30CFM-F compare with N2K-C2248-FAN?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is the 30 CFM forward-airflow fan associated with Cisco Nexus 2248PQ and selected Nexus 3000 or 3100 platforms. N2K-C2248-FAN is a different Nexus 2000 fan module associated with Nexus 2224TP, 2248TP, and 2248TP-E platforms. The key difference is platform fit, so the chassis model should decide the correct spare.

How does NXA-FAN-30CFM-F compare with N2K-C2232-FAN?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F serves the Nexus 2248PQ and documented Nexus 3000 or 3100 fan positions. N2K-C2232-FAN is associated with Cisco Nexus 2232PP, 2232TM, and 2232TM-E platforms. Both belong to Cisco Nexus cooling spares, but they are selected by exact chassis family rather than by general Nexus branding or airflow wording alone.

How does NXA-FAN-30CFM-F compare with N3K-C3048-FAN?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is listed for several later Nexus 3000 or 3100 platforms such as Nexus 3132Q, 3172, 3232C, and 31108 models. N3K-C3048-FAN is listed for Cisco Nexus 3048 and related older Nexus 3064 fan options. The differentiating factor is exact chassis compatibility, not the shared port-side exhaust airflow description.

Is NXA-FAN-30CFM-F available new or refurbished?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F is commonly sourced through enterprise hardware channels in new and certified refurbished condition, subject to quote-time availability. ORM Systems can quote the requested condition when buyers provide quantity, target chassis, and required delivery expectations. Availability should not be assumed from the SKU alone because spare-part stock changes by region and supplier position.

How should buyers request pricing for NXA-FAN-30CFM-F?

Pricing for NXA-FAN-30CFM-F should be requested against the exact part number, condition, quantity, and destination. The quote should also confirm airflow direction, target chassis, and any warranty requirement. That information helps prevent a lower-cost reverse-airflow or incompatible chassis fan from being substituted into a replacement order where port-side exhaust is required.

What lead-time details matter for NXA-FAN-30CFM-F?

Lead time for NXA-FAN-30CFM-F depends on condition, quantity, warehouse location, and whether the buyer needs new or certified refurbished stock. For urgent fan replacement, the request should include the installed chassis model and airflow direction. That allows ORM Systems to confirm the correct forward-airflow spare before committing the replacement path.

Can NXA-FAN-30CFM-F be ordered in bulk?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F can be quoted for bulk purchasing when a buyer needs spares across multiple compatible Nexus chassis. The safest bulk request lists each target platform, such as Nexus 2248PQ, 3172PQ-XL, 3232C, or 31108TC-V, plus the airflow direction in use. This prevents mixed spares from entering the same fleet inventory.

Is NXA-FAN-30CFM-F still used in existing deployments?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F remains relevant for existing Cisco Nexus 2000, 3000, and 3100 deployments that still require this exact forward-airflow fan. The SKU should be positioned as a replacement and continuity spare for installed fleets, not as a claim of current manufacturer platform support. Buyers should verify lifecycle and support status against the deployed chassis.

What warranty information applies to NXA-FAN-30CFM-F?

Warranty handling for NXA-FAN-30CFM-F should be confirmed at quote stage because coverage depends on condition, supplier route, and order terms. ORM Systems can quote warranty options for new or certified refurbished units when the buyer states the expected coverage. Manufacturer warranty should not be recorded as a fixed specification unless a published term is attached to the exact order.

How is a refurbished NXA-FAN-30CFM-F checked before dispatch?

A certified refurbished NXA-FAN-30CFM-F should be checked for spin-up behavior, vibration, connector seating, latch or mounting condition, and airflow direction before dispatch. Those checks are specific to cooling components and help confirm the fan is suitable as a replacement spare. The final order should still match the exact Cisco Nexus chassis and airflow direction.

What compliance details are relevant to NXA-FAN-30CFM-F?

Compliance should be handled through the supported Cisco Nexus platform rather than guessed for the standalone fan module. Cisco Nexus 2000 platform materials list safety, EMC, and RoHS information for the chassis family, while the NXA-FAN-30CFM-F product record should avoid adding unsupported standalone compliance claims. Buyers needing audit documentation should request platform-specific compliance evidence.

What should be checked before installing NXA-FAN-30CFM-F?

Before installing NXA-FAN-30CFM-F, the technician should confirm the exact chassis model, fan bay location, airflow direction, and power-supply airflow match. Supported examples include Nexus 2248PQ, 3132Q, 3172PQ-XL, 3232C, and 31108TC-V. ESD handling and the chassis hardware guide should be followed so the replacement does not disturb adjacent modules.

Does NXA-FAN-30CFM-F require a license or software feature?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F does not require a separate software license because it is a hardware cooling spare, not a feature entitlement. The chassis operating system monitors fan status through environmental commands after installation. For compatible Nexus 3000 or 3100 switches, administrators should verify the fan status and direction after replacement using the platform management interface.

What tools or accessories are needed for NXA-FAN-30CFM-F replacement?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F replacement normally centers on the fan bay procedure for the exact Cisco Nexus chassis and standard ESD protection. The order should include the fan module itself, and the technician should confirm whether the chassis requires any filler blank, airflow sleeve, rack-side access, or maintenance-window procedure. Tool needs should follow the installed platform hardware guide.

Where can NXA-FAN-30CFM-F be bought in the UK?

NXA-FAN-30CFM-F can be requested from ORM Systems for UK enterprise hardware procurement. The request should include the exact SKU, required condition, quantity, compatible Nexus chassis, and port-side exhaust airflow requirement. ORM Systems can then quote the correct Cisco Nexus fan module for replacement, spares stocking, or a wider fleet standardization order.

Does ORM Systems ship NXA-FAN-30CFM-F internationally?

ORM Systems supports international quote requests for NXA-FAN-30CFM-F, subject to destination, stock route, export requirements, and order terms. Buyers outside the UK should provide delivery country, quantity, preferred condition, and target Cisco Nexus chassis. That information lets the quote confirm the correct forward-airflow spare and any logistics details before purchase approval.
