Fan Assembly Overview

The RUCKUS ICX 7550 switch includes three redundant, hot-swappable fan assemblies.

If power supply and fan assembly slots are unused, you must cover them with filler panels.

Note: RUCKUS recommends that the RUCKUS ICX 7550 operate with two power supplies and three fan assemblies installed. If a power supply or fan assembly fails, it must be replaced as soon as possible.

The fan assemblies in the RUCKUS ICX 7550 switch chassis can be removed and replaced without special tools. The device can continue operating during the replacement.

The ICX 7550 supports the following fan assemblies:

  • Fan assembly with nonport-side air exhaust: This unit moves the air from the port side to the nonport side of the device.
  • Fan assembly with nonport-side air intake: This unit moves the air from the nonport side to the port side of the device.
