The switch can use a single power module or two power modules for 1+1 power redundancy. Pluggable AC and DC power modules can be used together in the same switch. However, the power modules with fans and power modules without fans cannot be installed on the same switch.
The switch has three built-in fans for forced air cooling. Air flows in from the left, right, and front sides, and exhausts from the rear panel.
