Cisco NXA-SFAN-35CFM-PE= - Single Fan Module

Cisco Part Number: NXA-SFAN-35CFM-PE= is a Cisco Nexus single fan (spare), 35CFM, port-side exhaust airflow, spare

Cisco NXA-SFAN-35CFM-PE Nexus Fan Module

The Cisco NXA-SFAN-35CFM-PE is a 35 CFM fan module designed for Cisco Nexus data centre switches requiring port-side exhaust (PE) airflow. It provides efficient thermal management for high-performance switching platforms and is designed to maintain the required operating environment for demanding data centre deployments.

The NXA-SFAN-35CFM-PE is a user-replaceable component, allowing a faulty or degraded fan module to be replaced without replacing the complete switch chassis. Its port-side exhaust airflow configuration is particularly suited to data centre installations where equipment is arranged to move heat towards the hot aisle.

Key Features

• 35 CFM airflow capacity for effective chassis cooling
• Port-side exhaust airflow for hot-aisle data centre configurations
• Designed for compatible Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches
• Field-replaceable fan module for simplified maintenance
• Blue colour identification for port-side exhaust airflow
• Designed for continuous operation in demanding data centre environments
• Compatible with Cisco Nexus platforms that specify the NXA-SFAN-35CFM-PE fan module

Compatibility and Airflow

The NXA-SFAN-35CFM-PE is specified for platforms including the Cisco Nexus N9K-C9332D-GX2B. This switch uses six fan modules, providing a distributed cooling architecture. The fan module is also specified for selected Nexus 9300 Series platforms, including the N93108TC-FX3 and 93400LD-H1.

Correct airflow configuration is essential. The NXA-SFAN-35CFM-PE uses port-side exhaust airflow, identified by its blue colouring. All fan and power-supply modules installed in a compatible chassis must use the same airflow direction to prevent overheating. In port-side exhaust configurations, the switch ports should be positioned towards the hot aisle.

Reliable and Serviceable Cooling

The fan module incorporates two rotors and is designed as a field-replaceable component. In compatible Nexus systems, individual fan modules can be replaced during operation when the required remaining modules are installed and functioning. This helps minimise maintenance downtime and supports continued availability of critical data centre networking equipment.

Cisco NXA-SFAN-35CFM-PE is therefore a practical replacement component for maintaining the cooling performance and airflow configuration of supported Cisco Nexus data centre switches.
