Q: Which Arista switches are compatible with the FAN-7012H-RED?
A: The FAN-7012H-RED is compatible with Arista 7000 Series 2RU switches including the 7280CR3, 7280CR3K, 7280DR3K, 7280SR3, 7280SR3K, and 7060X5 Series models. It is specifically designed for front-to-rear airflow configurations.

Q: What does the RED designation indicate on this fan module?
A: The RED designation indicates front-to-rear airflow direction. This ensures proper cooling when air enters from the front of the switch and exhausts out the rear, which is standard for most data center hot aisle/cold aisle configurations.

Q: Is this fan module hot-swappable?
A: Yes, the FAN-7012H-RED is hot-swappable, allowing replacement without powering down the switch. This minimizes downtime and maintains continuous network operations during maintenance.

A: The FAN-7012H-RED typically comes with Arista's standard one-year limited hardware warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Extended warranty and support options are available through authorized resellers.

Q: Can I mix RED and BLUE fan modules in the same switch?
A: No, you should not mix RED (front-to-rear) and BLUE (rear-to-front) fan modules in the same switch. All fans must have the same airflow direction to ensure proper cooling and avoid thermal issues.
