M4300-24X24F Temperature
Hi There
We got 2 M4300-24X24F Core Switches in a stacking configuration and I'm observing a rather high temperature on those devices.
They operate in a climate controlled room, they haven't got an optimal airflow, but environment temperature is well within specifications
I would say max 25 degrees.
The fans however seem to run only on 16% duty level. Do I have to worry?
Firmware: 12.0.2.20

Hi Morpheus187
No worries, you're well within the spec for longest MTBF here. Intelligent fans and sensor don't trigger more fan speed to keep the noise at low level, without impacting MTBF at all. Internal components were selected for their temperature range.
If temperature goes up (above 25 degrees C), then fans will be triggered, accordingly.

Thanks for clarification. Then I just don't worry anymore about it.
I just nearly burned my fingers pulling out an SFP+ module but I guess thats normal then :)
