NVIDIA 930-9BFAN-00IN-000 | Fan Module for Spectrum/Quantum Switches, 40mm, P2C

Q: What does P2C airflow mean?
A: P2C (Port-to-Connector) airflow indicates front-to-back cooling, where air is drawn in from the front ports and exhausted through the rear connector side. This matches standard data center hot aisle/cold aisle configurations.

Q: Which NVIDIA switch models are compatible with this fan module?
A: This fan module is compatible with NVIDIA Spectrum series switches (SN3420, SN3510, SN3700, SN3700C, SN4700) and Quantum series switches (QM8700, QM8780, QM8790). Always verify your specific switch model airflow direction before ordering.

Q: Can I replace the fan module while the switch is running?
A: Yes, this is a hot-swappable fan module designed for replacement during operation. However, it's recommended to replace failed fans promptly to maintain adequate cooling for the switch components.

Q: How do I determine the correct airflow direction for my switch?
A: Check your switch model documentation or the existing fan module labels. P2C airflow (this module) is front-to-back, while C2P airflow is back-to-front. Mixing airflow directions can reduce cooling efficiency.

Q: Is this fan module suitable for 200G systems?
A: Yes, this fan module is optimized for high-performance 200G 1U network switches, providing sufficient cooling for intensive data transfer operations in enterprise and data center deployments.
