Solved: Cisco ASA 5515 Fan replacement

CiscoNutt · ‎07-19-2016

From the looks of it, the fan in the ASA5515 is built in and not replaceable. Is this correct? I can only find fan replacements for the old 5510, 5520, etc.

Can anyone confirm this?

They're not designed to be field-replaceable units (FRUs). If they were, the process would be documented here:

You may be able to find a generic muffin style fan that fits and do it yourself but the endorsed procedure is to get an RMA for the whole appliance.
