The S5200F-ON Series switch fans support two airflow options:
normal and reverse.
Fan combinations
Fan installation is done as
part of the factory install based on stock keeping unit (SKU) type. The S5200F-ON Series switch has SKUs that support
the following configurations:
AC or DC PSU with fan airflow from the I/O to the
PSU—the red indicator is the normal airflow direction
AC or DC PSU with fan airflow from the PSU to the
I/O—the blue indicator is the reverse airflow direction
Order the fans suitable to support
your site’s ventilation. Use a single type of airflow fan in your
switch. Do not mix reverse and normal airflows in a single S5200F-ON Series switch.
For proper ventilation, position the switch in an equipment rack or cabinet with a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance around the exhaust vents. When you install two S5200F-ON switches near each other, to permit proper airflow, position the two switches at least 5 inches (12.7 cm) apart. The fan speed varies based on internal temperature monitoring. The S5200F-ON Series switch never intentionally turns off the fans.
