Description
NVIDIA Mellanox MSX62-FF Fan Module: This is a field-replaceable fan unit (FRU) for NVIDIA Mellanox SX1024 (MSX1024) series SwitchX-2 switch chassis. The MSX62-FF is a dual fan module that moves air from the power supply side to the connector side (P2C); the opposite-airflow counterpart is the MSX62-FR. This is NOT a switch line card or PSU — it is a thermal-management module that slides into the chassis fan bay. This is a refurbished unit, fully tested by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS.
Engineering Context
The MSX62-FF carries the chassis fans that pull air across the SwitchX/SwitchX-2 ASIC heatsink and the line-card cage. Because all fan trays and PSUs in a chassis must share a single airflow direction to satisfy the chassis airflow alarm, the P2C airflow of the MSX62-FF must be matched against the rest of the FRUs already installed. The MSX62-FF is hot-swappable when the chassis is configured with redundant fan bays. The platform is end-of-sale by NVIDIA, so spares for these legacy chassis are sourced primarily through the refurbished market.
Deployment & Use Cases
RMA replacement of a failed fan module in a Mellanox MSX1024 chassis. Lifecycle maintenance for legacy data-center fleets still running SwitchX/SwitchX-2 platforms. Hot/cold aisle realignment of older racks. Lab and test environments preserving SwitchX-era hardware.

Compatibility & Hard Constraints
MSX62-FF and MSX62-FR airflow variants are NOT interchangeable in the same chassis. Mixing them will trigger a chassis airflow mismatch alarm. Not compatible with newer Spectrum-series (SN2000/SN3000/SN4000) or Quantum-series InfiniBand switches, which use different fan FRUs. The MSX62-FF is a fan module only; it does not contain a power supply unit — chassis power is supplied by separate PSU FRUs. Confirm chassis airflow direction against the FRU labels of currently installed fan trays before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is the airflow direction of the MSX62-FF fan module?
The Mellanox MSX62-FF is a dual fan module with power supply side to connector side airflow (P2C). Mellanox lists the MSX62-FF for SX1024 series switch systems.
Q. Can the MSX62-FF be mixed with the MSX62-FR in one chassis?
No. The MSX62-FF moves air from the power supply side to the connector side, and the MSX62-FR moves air in the opposite direction, from the connector side to the power supply side. The MSX62-FF is also not the fan module for other MSX60XX and MSX10XX switches, for which Mellanox lists the MSX60-FF.
