N3K-C3064-FAN Overview
The Cisco N3K-C3064-FAN is a critical component for providing redundant, variable speed cooling to the Cisco Nexus 3064 switches. It consists of a fan tray module that houses two redundant fans and provides front-to-back airflow through the switch.
The Cisco N3K-C3064-FAN is designed specifically for the Nexus 3064 switch models. It provides port-side exhaust airflow to maintain optimal cooling across switch components like the power supplies, I/O modules, and switching fabric. The fan tray is hot-swappable, allowing replacement of fans without powering down the system.
Key Features
- Provides redundant cooling for Nexus 3064 switches
- Enables forward airflow with port-side exhaust
