Cisco Catalyst 9500-40X Fans Included or not??

[t.zelenik]

I am trying to quote a Cisco Catalyst 9500-40X-A switch for a customer and the datasheet is unclear as to whether or not I need to include (5) of the FAN-T4-R= modules. I opened a PDI ticket and they said that the power supplies have fans built in and I can order the FAN-T4-R= modules...but they didn't tell me if they are required or not. Thanks in advance!

See table-15 in this link.

The chassis comes with 2 power supplies and build in fans.

So they fans that are built into the power supplies are sufficient to cool the system under normal operations, correct? Meaning I do not have to order the fan modules - they are completely optional.

The fans are built-in and come with the switch. If you look at the picture in the link I posted, the switch comes with 2 PSUs and 4 or 5 fan trays.
