Description
NVIDIA Mellanox MTEF-FANR-A Hot-Swap Fan Module, C2P Airflow (NVIDIA P/N 930-9BFAN-00IY-000): This is a hot-swappable chassis fan tray for NVIDIA Mellanox S6710, SB7700, MSX17xx, SX67xx, and SX6720 series switch chassis. The module uses Connector-to-Power (C2P) airflow direction. This is a chassis fan module, not a PSU and not a switch line card. This is a refurbished unit.
Engineering Context
The MTEF-FANR-A is a chassis-mounted fan tray that pulls cool air across the connector side and exhausts it toward the power side, the C2P (Connector-to-Power) airflow direction. This matches switch chassis configured for forward-airflow rack rows where cool air enters from the cold aisle (connector side) and exits to the hot aisle (power side). Hot-swap capability allows replacement of a failed fan tray without disrupting switch operation when the chassis carries redundant fan modules. The unit slides into a dedicated fan bay on the switch chassis. NVIDIA part number 930-9BFAN-00IY-000 identifies this exact SKU in procurement and inventory systems.
Deployment & Use Cases
Replacement fan module for S6710, SB7700, MSX17xx, SX67xx, and SX6720 switches in forward-airflow rack rows. Stocking spare for production data centers running InfiniBand or Ethernet fabrics on these switch families. Field replacement during planned maintenance where N+1 fan redundancy must be preserved. Lab and staging refresh where matched airflow direction across all chassis is required for thermal consistency.

Compatibility & Hard Constraints
Compatible with NVIDIA Mellanox S6710, SB7700, MSX17xx, SX67xx, and SX6720 switch chassis. Must be paired with matching C2P-airflow PSU modules in the same chassis — Mellanox does not support mixing P2C and C2P modules within a single switch. Not compatible with reverse-airflow MTEF-FANF-* P2C fan variants. NVIDIA hardware manuals also list MTEF-FANR-A for the SN2700 and SN2410. Not interchangeable with the fan modules of the SN3700 (MTEF-FANR-C) or SN4700 (MTEF-FANR-M). Verify chassis airflow orientation and switch model before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is the airflow direction of the NVIDIA MTEF-FANR-A fan module?
MTEF-FANR-A (NVIDIA P/N 930-9BFAN-00IY-000) is a fan module with C2P airflow, which NVIDIA describes as front to rear: air enters at the connector side and exits at the power side. All fan and power supply units in one chassis must use the same airflow direction.
Q. Which switches is the MTEF-FANR-A listed for?
NVIDIA hardware manuals list MTEF-FANR-A for the SN2700 and SN2410 and for SB77X0 switch systems. MTEF-FANR-A is not the fan module for the SN3700 or SN4700, which use MTEF-FANR-C and MTEF-FANR-M.
Q. Is the MTEF-FANR-A tested by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS before shipping?
Yes. T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS (tes-itsolutions.com) tests every MTEF-FANR-A before shipment, verifying tachometer feedback, rotor operation and connector integrity. This MTEF-FANR-A is refurbished, with 1-3 business day handling and global shipping.
