Huawei CE128000 Series Switch FAN-12C Fan Module. Functions of FAN-12C fan modules
Function
Description
Noise reduction
When FAN-12C fan modules are powered on, they rotate at 40% of the full speed for at most 90s. After the fan modules communicate normally with the MPU, the MPU controls running of the fan modules.
Automatic fan speed adjustment
After the FAN-12C fan modules communicate normally with the MPU, the MPU controls the speed of fans according to temperature of cards in the chassis.
Alarm reporting
The fan modules can report alarms on loss of communication, fan failures, abnormal fan speeds, and blocking of a single fan.
Electronic label
The MPU reads and loads electronic labels of FAN-12C fan modules through I2C buses.

FAN-12C FAQ
Q1: Which Huawei switch models does the FAN-12C support? How compatible is it?
A1: It mainly supports Huawei CE6800 series mid-range switches and CE5800 series entry-level switches. The size and interfaces are fully matched, with 100% compatibility; simply plug and play.
Q2: Does the compact design affect heat dissipation? Can it meet the low-to-medium load requirements of the switch?
A2: The compact design focuses on the core heat dissipation area, with heat dissipation efficiency precisely matched to low-to-medium loads; it fully meets the heat dissipation requirements of Huawei mid-range/entry-level switches during normal operation, keeping the core temperature within a safe range.
Q3: What are the differences between the FAN-12C and FAN-16A/FAN-600A-B? How should one choose for lightweight scenarios?
A3: The FAN-12C focuses on compact design and ultra-low noise, suitable for entry-level/mid-range switches with light loads; the FAN-16A is suitable for small to medium-sized mid-range switches with medium loads; and the FAN-600A-B is suitable for mid-to-high-end switches with high loads. For small server rooms, branch offices, and office server rooms, the FAN-12C is a better fit for needs and budget.
