Fan Tray Assembly
The fan tray assembly (C9606-FAN) in Cisco Catalyst 9600 Series Switches consists of a fan tray and a
connector that is attached to the fan tray. It is responsible for cooling the entire chassis and interfacing with
environmental monitors to trigger alarms when conditions exceed thresholds. The fan tray provides cooling

that is critical for the switch operation which could otherwise result in a switch being non-operational or
causing permanent damage to the modules or components.
The following lists the features and functionalities of a Cisco Catalyst 9600 fan tray:
• Has nine individual fans (three rows of three each) and supports a minimum airflow of 720 cubic feet
per minute (cfm) at 100 percent fan throttle.
• Has side-to-side airflow for balanced airflow across the inserted cards. When facing the front of the
chassis, airflow direction is right to left.
• You can install and remove from the front and the rear.
• Has a built-in, front-facing, passive RFID tag that uses Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID technology
and requires an RFID reader with a compatible software.
• Provides N+1 redundancy with individual fans. Fan tray does not support redundancy; however with
N+1 redundancy using individual fans, system ensures that there is no impact to system performance
even if one of the fans fail.
• Optimizes the fan-speed for temperature and pressure and maintains the minimum fan speeds and
temperatures that the chassis requires, in ambient conditions.
The following figure shows C9606-FAN with the major components identified.

High Availability
To ensure high availability, the system is designed to respond to fan failures by either minimising impact or
by compensating and operating at a worst case scenario specification.
• If a single fan fails, the remaining fans in the row compensate with increased speed.

Product Overview
High Availability

• If two or more fans fail, the entire fan tray operates at full speed after one minute. Further, the fan tray
must be replaced. The individual fans are not field replaceable, you must replace the fan tray.
•If the temperature sensor fails or communication with the temperature sensor fails, the worst case operating
temperature is assumed.
• If the pressure sensor fails or communication with the pressure sensor fails, the worst case operating
pressure is assumed.
Thresholds, Alarms, and Abnormal Acoustic Conditions
Under normal operating conditions, when none of the temperature alarms have been triggered, hardware
controls fan speed. If any of the system temperature alarms are triggered, software displays a syslog message
indicating that the temperature is high and the fans are operating at higher speed. Refer to the System
Management section of the software configuration guide for more information.
In case of a fan failure, you must replace the fan tray within 120 seconds or power down the system. If the
temperature exceeds the shutdown threshold, software powers the system down.
When the fan tray operates at full speed, increased noise levels may be expected. The fan tray may operate
at full speed in these circumstances:
• If two or more fans have failed
• If the STATUS LED remains red for more than one minute
• If there is a hardware failure
• If the software watchdog timer is triggered
Power Supply Module Overview
The switch chassis has four redundant power supply slots that operates with one to four power supply modules.
The chassis supports field-replaceable AC-input and DC-input power supply modules.
The power supply modules generates 12Vdc output power and distributes it to the line cards and supervisor
modules. The power supplies distribute power to all slots using an internal bus-bar based power distribution
mechanism. All power supply modules have internal fans and support front-to-rear airflow.
The following are the supported power supply modules:
