FAQs

Q: What is the difference between N3K-C3048-FAN and N3K-C3048-FAN-B?
A: The N3K-C3048-FAN features port-side exhaust airflow (front-to-back), while the N3K-C3048-FAN-B has reversed airflow with port-side intake (back-to-front). Choose the module that matches your data center's hot-aisle/cold-aisle cooling configuration.

Q: Can I replace this fan module without shutting down the switch?
A: Yes, the N3K-C3048-FAN is hot-swappable, allowing you to replace it while the Nexus 3048 switch remains operational, ensuring continuous network availability.

Q: How do I know which airflow direction my data center requires?
A: Port-side exhaust (front-to-back) is used when cool air enters from the port side and hot air exhausts from the back. This configuration is common in cold-aisle deployments where equipment faces the cold aisle.

Q: Is this fan module compatible with other Nexus 3000 series switches?
A: No, the N3K-C3048-FAN is designed specifically for the Cisco Nexus 3048 switch. Other Nexus 3000 series models require their respective fan modules.
