Hello Cisco Community,

I need assistance with replacing the fan module on a Cisco C3K-BLWR-60CFM. My current unit is failing, and I’m unsure about the compatibility and installation process for its replacement.

Here are my questions:

  1. Can I use a third-party fan module, or must it be an official Cisco replacement to ensure compatibility?
  2. Are there any specific guidelines or steps I should follow during the replacement to avoid disrupting the switch’s operation?
  3. If someone has gone through a similar replacement, could you share your experience or tips?
I’d appreciate any advice, including part numbers or sources for reliable replacement modules. Thanks in advance for your help!
