Questions & Answers
Q
What is the Cisco WS-X4596-E front-to-back fan spare?
A
The WS-X4596-E is a hot-swappable replacement fan module designed to provide front-to-back airflow and maintain optimal cooling in Cisco Catalyst 4500-X Series switches.
Q
Which Catalyst 4500-X models are compatible with the WS-X4596-E fan?
A
The WS-X4596-E is compatible with all Cisco Catalyst 4500-X Series chassis that support front-to-back airflow, including C4506X, C4507R+E, and C4510R+E models.
Q
How do I install the WS-X4596-E fan module?
A
Power off the switch, slide the WS-X4596-E fan into the designated fan slot until it clicks, then power on the switch to complete the installation.
Q
What is the airflow direction of the WS-X4596-E fan?
A
The WS-X4596-E fan provides front-to-back airflow, ensuring consistent cooling across all line cards and components.
Q
What are the dimensions and weight of the WS-X4596-E fan?
A
The module measures 9.4 in (238.8 mm) in length, 3.6 in (91.4 mm) in width, 1.6 in (40.6 mm) in height, and weighs approximately 0.7 lb (0.3 kg).
Q
What is the mean time between failures (MTBF) for the WS-X4596-E?
A
The WS-X4596-E fan has an MTBF of approximately 100,000 hours at 25°C, ensuring long-term reliability in enterprise environments.
Q
What is the power consumption of the WS-X4596-E fan module?
A
The WS-X4596-E consumes up to 45 W under full load, contributing minimal additional power draw to the switch chassis.
Q
