The
QFX5100-96S-FANAFO Cooling Module is a high-performance Airflow-Out (AFO) cooling solution tailored for the QFX5100-96S Ethernet Switch from Juniper Networks. Designed to ensure optimal heat dissipation, this module actively pushes hot air out of the switch, maintaining consistent thermal conditions for peak networking performance. Its hot-swappable functionality and durable build make it indispensable for enterprise and data center environments where reliability is key.
The fan modules in
QFX5100 devices are hot-insertable and hot-removable field-replaceable units (FRUs). These fan modules are designed for one of the two available airflow directions (Airflow In or Airflow Out). Some fan modules are also color-coded for the airflow direction as well. The fan modules are installed in the fan module slots on the management panel of the switch next to the power supplies.
Both the 1 U and 2 U versions of QFX5100 fan modules have a similar design with different dimensions. The 1 U QFX5100 devices have 5 fan modules numbered 0 through 4 from left to right, where the 2 U, QFX5100-96S device, has 3 fan modules numbered 0 through 2. On all QFX5100 devices, each fan module slot has a fan icon next to it.
