Extreme Networks X870 Fan Module Front-to-Back Airflow

The Extreme Networks 17115 is a dedicated fan module for X870 series switches that moves air from the front of the chassis to the back, helping the switch maintain a safe operating temperature in demanding network environments.

The module weighs about one pound, so it is easy to handle even when you are working at the top of a rack. Installation is straightforward: slide out the existing unit, insert the replacement, and the switch immediately returns to normal cooling without lengthy downtime.

Because the airflow direction aligns with common hot aisle and cold aisle layouts, the 17115 fits naturally into enterprise data centers, campus aggregation closets, and other areas where equipment sits close together and heat can build up quickly. By keeping components within their optimal temperature range, the module supports consistent performance and can extend the life of the switch.

Network administrators who rely on the X870 platform often keep a few of these modules on hand for preventive maintenance or rapid replacement. The quick-swap design lets you resolve cooling issues before they affect network traffic, making the 17115 a simple but essential safeguard for uptime.
