Arista FAN-7010 | Spare Fan Module for 7010 Series, Reversible Airflow

Q: Is the FAN-7010 module hot-swappable?
A: Yes, the FAN-7010 is a hot-swappable module. However, the 7010T switch will shut down if the fan module remains disconnected for more than one minute, so replacement should be performed quickly to avoid downtime.

Q: Can I change the airflow direction on this fan module?
A: Yes, the FAN-7010 features a reversible airflow design that can be reoriented to provide either front-to-rear or rear-to-front airflow. Note that some DC models (DCS-7010TX-48C-DC-RV3-F and DCS-7010TX-48C-DC-RV3A-F) only support front-to-rear orientation.

Q: Which Arista switches is the FAN-7010 compatible with?
A: The FAN-7010 is compatible with all Arista 7010T Series switches, including DCS-7010T-48, DCS-7010TX-48, and their DC-powered variants. It is the standard field-replaceable fan module for this product family.

Q: How do I know if the fan module is operating correctly?
A: The fan module includes a status LED indicator. A steady green LED indicates normal operation. Any other LED state may indicate a fault condition that can be diagnosed by logging into the switch and viewing device status.

Q: Does the FAN-7010 provide redundant cooling?
A: Yes, the FAN-7010 module features dual fans, providing sufficient cooling even if one fan were to fail. This redundancy helps ensure continuous switch operation and thermal management.
