Airflow Considerations

The switch comes with fan modules that have port-side intake or port-side exhaust and power supply units that have port-side intake or port-side exhaust airflow for cooling the switch. If you are positioning the port-end of the switch in a cold aisle, make sure that the switch has a port-side intake fan and power supply units with red colorings. If you are positioning the fan and power supply units in a cold aisle, make sure that the switch has port-side exhaust fan and power supply units with blue colorings. All fan modules and power supply units must have the same direction of airflow.
