The switch supports both front-to-back and back-to-front airflow for switch cooling. Switch fans are not responsible for cooling the power supplies; power supplies have integrated cooling fans that operate independently of the switch fan. Fan modules are ordered separately for the base 7830-32CE-8DE switch. The fans are N+1 redundant.
For more information about the fan modules used in the switch, see Fans Modules for Use with Your Switch.
