Description
NVIDIA Mellanox MTEF-FANR-L 400G 1U Hot-Swap Fan Module (C2P Airflow): This is a hot-swappable fan module engineered for NVIDIA Mellanox 400G 1U switches. The MTEF-FANR-L (NVIDIA P/N 930-9BFAN-00JA-000) provides Connector-to-Power (C2P) airflow, drawing air from the port side and exhausting through the rear power side. This is a chassis cooling module, not a standalone rack fan. This is a refurbished unit.
Engineering Context
C2P airflow matches the front-to-back orientation expected by standard hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center deployments where ports face the cold aisle. The hot-swappable design allows replacement under load without powering down the switch, preserving data plane availability. The module is sized specifically for 1U 400G switch chassis and uses a dedicated mechanical/electrical interface unique to those chassis. RPM is managed by the switch thermal control plane.
Deployment & Use Cases
Replacement of failed fan modules in NVIDIA Mellanox 400G 1U switches. Maintaining airflow direction consistency in C2P-configured chassis. Operational sparing for AI/HPC fabric switches in continuous-duty environments. Live-replacement of fans in production clusters without a service window.

Compatibility & Hard Constraints
Compatible only with NVIDIA Mellanox 400G 1U switch chassis that accept this fan SKU. Do not mix C2P and P2C fan modules in the same switch — airflow direction must match across all cooling modules. Not compatible with 2U chassis, SN3000/SN4000 1U switches with different fan SKUs, or non-Mellanox switches. Verify by chassis P/N before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is the MTEF-FANR-L?
The MTEF-FANR-L is a 1U hot-swap fan module with C2P airflow, rated for 400G-class switch platforms.
Q. Can it be installed in a P2C-cooled chassis?
No. C2P and P2C fan modules are not interchangeable.
Q. Will T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS confirm the fitment of MTEF-FANR-L before shipping?
Yes. T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS (tes-itsolutions.com) inspects each unit before dispatch from EU stock.
