Huawei CE128000 Series Switch FAN-16A Fan Module. Functions of FAN-16A fan modules
Function
Description
Noise reduction
When the 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 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 the fan modules through I2C buses.

FAN-16A FAQ
Q1: Which Huawei switch models does the FAN-16A support? How compatible is it?
A1: It mainly supports Huawei CE8800, CE7800, and CE6800 series mid-to-high-end/mid-range switches. The size and interfaces are perfectly matched, with 100% compatibility; it's plug-and-play.
Q2: Is the fan module speed adjustable? Can the heat dissipation meet the needs of normal loads?
A2: It supports basic adaptive speed adjustment, allowing the fan speed to be adjusted according to the device temperature (2800-5500rpm). The heat dissipation fully meets the heat dissipation needs of small and medium-sized switches under normal loads, and the core temperature can be controlled within a safe range.
Q3: What are the differences between the FAN-16A and the mid-to-high-end FAN-600A-B? How should one choose for small to medium-sized scenarios?
A3: The FAN-16A focuses on lightweight design and high cost-effectiveness, suitable for normal loads on small and medium-sized switches; the FAN-600A-B has stronger heat dissipation power and supports redundancy, suitable for high-load scenarios on medium and large-sized switches. For small and medium-sized data centers and enterprise branch offices, the FAN-16A is a better fit for their needs and budget.
