Arista Networks DCS-7324X-FM Fabric Module Integrated Fans

Arista DCS-7324X-FM-F is a fabric module with integrated fans designed for the 7304 chassis, occupying fabric slots 1 through 4 to support the 7320X fabric interconnects within the chassis. The -F suffix indicates a front-to-rear airflow configuration, meaning cooling air flows from the front toward the back and the module includes built‑in fans to handle the cooling load directly in the fabric plane. As part of the 7324X family, this module is intended for use in 7304 configurations to provide both interconnect functionality and localized cooling in the same unit, helping maintain thermal performance in the constrained slot environment. When selecting a fan-equipped fabric module for a 7304 system, ensure the airflow orientation (-F vs -R) matches your data center’s cooling layout and rack arrangement, so the module integrates cleanly with surrounding components and airflow paths.
