Description
NVIDIA Mellanox MTEF-FANF-M P2C Fan Module for SN4700 / MSN4700 Spectrum-3: This is a hot-swappable replacement fan tray (cooling module) for the Mellanox SN4700 / MSN4700 Spectrum-3 400GbE Ethernet switch. Airflow direction is P2C (Power-to-Connector, from the PSU side toward the front network ports). This is a fan tray only, not a PSU, transceiver, or full chassis. NVIDIA P/N 930-9BFAN-00IX-000. This unit is refurbished and tested.
Engineering Context
The MTEF-FANF-M maintains the chassis thermal envelope by pulling cool air from the PSU side of the switch and exhausting it across the network port side. P2C is the airflow direction used when the cold aisle is at the rear of the rack. The fan tray is hot-swappable: a failed unit can be removed and replaced without bringing the switch offline, provided remaining fans can sustain temporary thermal load until replacement is complete.
Deployment & Use Cases
Replacement of a failed fan tray in an SN4700 / MSN4700 chassis serving as a 400GbE leaf or spine. Preventive maintenance during scheduled windows for high-uptime AI/HPC clusters. Spare stocking for fleets of Spectrum-3 switches. Rack environments configured with cold-aisle-rear / hot-aisle-front airflow that match the P2C direction.

Compatibility & Constraints
NVIDIA lists this module for the SN4700 and SN4700D Spectrum-3 systems. Not compatible with SN2100, SN2410, SN2700, SN3000-series, SN4600, or earlier Spectrum / Spectrum-2 fan bays — they use different fan trays. Do not mix P2C and C2P fan modules in the same chassis; mixed airflow causes thermal imbalance and is not supported. Confirm the SN4700 chassis is configured for P2C airflow before installing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What size and airflow direction is the NVIDIA MTEF-FANF-M fan module?
NVIDIA lists MTEF-FANF-M (NVIDIA P/N 930-9BFAN-00IX-000) as a 40 x 40 mm fan module with P2C (power-to-connector) airflow for the SN4700 and SN4700D.
Q. Can the MTEF-FANF-M be used in an SN4600 or SN3700 switch?
No. NVIDIA lists MTEF-FANF-M for the SN4700 and SN4700D only. The SN4600 uses 80 x 80 mm fan modules (MTEF-FANF-I) and the SN3700 uses MTEF-FANF-C. The C2P counterpart of MTEF-FANF-M for the SN4700 is MTEF-FANR-M; do not mix P2C and C2P modules in one chassis.
Q. Is the MTEF-FANF-M tested by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS?
Yes. T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS (tes-itsolutions.com) validates each refurbished MTEF-FANF-M for RPM and airflow direction before shipment, with 1 to 3 business day handling and global shipping.
