Cisco N9K-C9300-FAN2-B=

Overview

The Cisco N9K-C9300-FAN2-B= is a fan tray designed to pull cold air into compatible Cisco Nexus 9300 switches, ensuring that internal components stay within their optimal temperature range. This cooling solution supports sustained high traffic loads by maintaining proper airflow, which helps preserve switch performance and reliability. It is specifically built for Nexus 93128TX, 9336PQ ACI Spine, and 9396PX models, making it a precise fit for these high-density network environments.

Key features

• Cold air intake design that aligns with the Nexus 9300 switches’ airflow pattern to optimize cooling efficiency
• Hot-swappable module enables quick fan replacement without powering down the switch or interrupting network operations
• Compact and lightweight construction, weighing approximately 0.88 pounds, for easy handling during maintenance
• Durable build quality suited for frequent service in crowded data center racks
• Supports cold aisle and hot aisle data center layouts by maintaining consistent airflow direction
• Helps prevent heat-related performance degradation and hardware failure in dense 10, 40, or 100-gigabit network setups

Installation and maintenance

Installing the fan tray is straightforward and takes only a few moments, allowing network administrators to quickly replace a failing fan without shutting down the switch. This hot-swappable design minimizes downtime and helps maintain continuous network availability, which is critical in enterprise and data center environments. Its manageable size and weight make it easy to handle even in tight rack spaces.

Ideal uses and environments

This fan tray is well suited for data centers that implement cold aisle and hot aisle cooling strategies, ensuring that the Nexus 9300 switches receive the proper airflow to operate efficiently. It is also a practical spare part for campus networks and branch offices that rely on Cisco Nexus switches, helping to reduce downtime in case of fan failure. The tray supports high-performance network environments with dense 10, 40, or 100-gigabit traffic, making it a reliable choice for expanding or maintaining Cisco Nexus deployments.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
