WS-C6509-E-FAN Cisco Catalyst 6509-E Fan Tray

The WS-C6509-E-FAN is the fan tray for the Cisco Catalyst 6509-E, the Enhanced 9-slot Catalyst 6500 chassis. The 6509-E supports one hot-swappable fan tray, and this is the fan tray model available for it, with an airflow of 846 CFM. The spare form of the part is WS-C6509-E-FAN=.

The tray contains nine individual fans. The individual fans are not field replaceable; a fan failure means replacing the whole tray. A STATUS LED on the tray turns green when the fans operate normally and red when one or more individual fans have failed. The chassis needs a 2500 W or larger power supply to run this tray, and the 2500 W supply can be powered from either 120 VAC or 220 VAC.

The fan assembly provides cooling air for the supervisor engine and the switching modules in the chassis. The 6509-E is a 15 RU chassis measuring 24.5 x 17.5 x 18.2 in (62.2 x 44.5 x 46.0 cm), and it weighs 60 lb (27.3 kg) empty and 190 lb (86.4 kg) when fully configured with one supervisor engine, eight switching modules and two power supplies. Airflow runs side to side, and Cisco advises a minimum 6 in (15 cm) gap between a wall and the chassis air intake or exhaust and 12 in (30.5 cm) between the exhaust of one chassis and the intake of another.

The tray belongs to the WS-C6509-E Catalyst 6509-E 9-slot chassis, and a 48-port gigabit module for that chassis is the WS-X6748-GE-TX Catalyst 6500 48-port module. More chassis parts are in Cisco accessories and parts.
