NXA-FAN-65CFM-PE Nexus 65CFM Fan Module
NXA-FAN-65CFM-PE Nexus 65CFM Fan Module
High-Performance 65CFM Fan Module with Port-Side Exhaust for Cisco Nexus Switches
The NXA-FAN-65CFM-PE is a high-capacity 65CFM fan module designed for Cisco Nexus Series switches, ensuring efficient cooling and reliable thermal management in high-density network environments. With Port-side Exhaust (PE) airflow, this module expels air from the front (port side) to the back, aligning with standard front-to-back cooling configurations in data centers.
Engineered for redundant cooling, the fan module is hot-swappable, allowing for quick and safe replacement without interrupting switch operations. It’s a critical component for maintaining the long-term reliability and performance of Nexus switch infrastructure.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the airflow direction for the NXA-FAN-65CFM-PE?
A: It uses Port-side Exhaust (PE) airflow, which pushes air from the front (network port side) to the rear — ideal for front-to-back cooled racks.
Q2: Can the fan be replaced while the switch is running?
A: Yes, it is hot-swappable, allowing you to replace the fan without powering down the switch.
Q3: Which Cisco Nexus switches support this fan?
A: It is commonly used in high-performance Nexus 9300 and 9500 series switches. Please consult Cisco’s official documentation or your switch datasheet for exact compatibility.
Q4: What does 65CFM mean?
A: CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute, and 65CFM indicates a high airflow capacity, suitable for cooling dense or high-throughput switch configurations.
Q5: Is this fan module user-installable?
A: Yes, it supports tool-less installation and can be easily replaced by network administrators.
