Arista FAN-7130-1U-R | Fan Module for 7130 Series 1U, Rear-to-Front Airflow

Q: Which Arista switches is the FAN-7130-1U-R compatible with?
A: The FAN-7130-1U-R is designed for Arista 7130 Connect Series 1U switches, including models 7130-16S, 7130-48S, and 7130-96S. It is not compatible with 2U models which require the FAN-7130-2U series.

Q: What does the -R suffix indicate in the part number?
A: The -R suffix indicates rear-to-front airflow direction. This means air is drawn in from the port side (front) and exhausted out the rear of the switch. This must match your switch and power supply airflow configuration for proper cooling.

Q: Can I replace this fan module without shutting down my switch?
A: Yes, the FAN-7130-1U-R is a hot-swappable module. When operating in redundant configuration (1+1), you can replace a failed fan module without interrupting switch operations or network traffic.

Q: How many fan modules does a 7130 1U switch support?
A: Arista 7130 Series 1U switches support two fan modules in a 1+1 redundant configuration, providing full cooling redundancy for mission-critical low-latency applications.

Q: What is the difference between FAN-7130-1U-R and FAN-7130-1U-F?
A: The difference is airflow direction. The FAN-7130-1U-R provides rear-to-front airflow, while the FAN-7130-1U-F provides front-to-rear airflow. You must match the airflow direction of your fan modules with your power supplies and data center hot/cold aisle configuration.
