| System Overview

System cooling

Cooling of the SwitchBlade x8100 Series is:

Front to back for the PSUs via their own internal fans

Side to side for the chassis cards via the SBxFAN12 fan tray (which comprises 4 individual fans) for the SwitchBlade x8112. Similarly
the SBxFAN06 comprises 2 individual fans for the SwitchBlade x8106, to draw air through the chassis

The PSU and control/line card sections of the chassis are physically separated to avoid swirling airflow in the multi-direction system.

Any control/line card slot that is unoccupied should have a blanking plate installed to assist airflow through the system and ensure
adequate cooling.
