Extreme Networks Front-to-Back Airflow Fan Module

The Extreme Networks XN-FAN-001-F is a replacement fan module that drives air from the front of a compatible switch or router toward the back, keeping internal components within their recommended temperature range. It gives network administrators a straightforward way to maintain thermal consistency without reconfiguring rack layouts or disturbing live traffic.

Because the airflow pattern matches the cold-aisle to hot-aisle design used in many data centers, the module helps preserve an efficient cooling strategy across the entire rack. In a smaller network closet, it simply ensures that heat moves away from sensitive circuitry so the device can deliver full performance around the clock.

Installation is quick: slide out the existing tray, insert the XN-FAN-001-F, and secure it per the chassis instructions. The module’s single-fan design keeps noise and power draw at practical levels while still providing dependable airflow. Routine replacements like this protect hardware investments by minimizing the risk of thermal throttling or unexpected shutdowns.

Whether you manage a high-density aggregation switch in a data center or a core switch in a branch office, this fan module offers an easy, manufacturer-approved way to maintain uptime and extend equipment life.

Highlights:

• Front-to-back airflow that aligns with standard hot-aisle and cold-aisle layouts
• Single-fan configuration designed for compatible Extreme Networks platforms
• Helps stabilize operating temperatures and maintain full hardware performance
• Quick, straightforward installation with no specialized tools required
• Reliable cooling solution backed by Extreme Networks design standards
