Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes identifying removal of a module from a network device comprising a plurality of fans during an online removal process while the network device is operational, reducing fan speed in the network device to allow a hinged door to move to a closed position covering an opening from which the module was removed, and increasing the fan speed to maintain cooling in the network device.
