N3K-C3064-FAN-B Overview
The Cisco Nexus 3064 Fan Module (N3K-C3064-FAN-B) provides redundant variable-speed cooling fans designed specifically for the reversed airflow configuration on the Cisco Nexus 3000 Series switches.
With the Cisco N3K-C3064-FAN-B, air enters the switch through the network ports and exhausts out the back of the switch through the fan and power supply bays. This reversed airflow direction supports data center cooling designs that require port-side intake airflow. The fan speed is automatically adjusted based on temperature sensors to provide optimal cooling while minimizing noise.
