The HPE CX 10000-48Y6C Port to Power(FB) Fan is a purpose-built cooling module designed to sustain peak performance in high-density data center environments. This green fan unit plays a critical role in maintaining steady airflow across port-to-power blocks in HPE CX 10000 switches, helping to prevent thermal throttling, extend component life, and ensure reliable network operation under demanding workloads. Built to meet the stringent reliability standards of enterprise network infrastructure, this fan combines durable construction with precise blade geometry to deliver quiet, consistent cooling where it matters most.
- Optimized cooling performance: The Port to Power(FB) Fan features precisely engineered blades and balanced rotation to deliver a steady, high-volume airflow. This design minimizes hotspots within the switch chassis and supports sustained throughput during traffic spikes, ultimately helping to preserve switch performance and stability.
- Reliability for demanding networks: Built for continuous operation in data centers, the fan module uses high-quality bearings and a robust housing that resist vibration and wear. The result is low-maintenance cooling that reduces the risk of unexpected failures and downtime in critical network paths.
- Quiet, data-center-friendly operation: Optimized for low noise and vibration, this fan helps maintain comfortable ambient conditions in shared rack environments while still delivering the airflow required by high-density CX 10000 configurations.
- Easy maintenance and quick replacement: Designed for straightforward hot-swappable replacement in compatible CX 10000 chassis, allowing technicians to refresh cooling without significant downtime or disassembly. This minimizes service windows and keeps networks online during routine maintenance.
- Clear identification and compatibility: The distinctive Green finish aids quick identification within rack crews, while the module is specifically engineered for the CX 10000-48Y6C configuration and CX 10000 series switches. This ensures an exact fit and proper airflow management where it’s needed most.

How to Install HPE CX 10000-48Y6C Port to Power(FB) Fan
Installing or replacing the Port to Power(FB) Fan in a CX 10000 switch is a straightforward process that minimizes downtime when performed by qualified personnel. Follow these general steps to ensure a proper fit, secure installation, and reliable cooling performance:
- Power down and follow your organization’s safety and ESD procedures before handling internal components. If the CX 10000 chassis supports hot-swapping, confirm the appropriate maintenance window and procedures with your network operations team.
- Access the chassis by removing the service panel or access cover as specified in your CX 10000 documentation. Ensure the area is clear of obstructions and that you have a stable workspace for component replacement.
- Locate the Port to Power(FB) Fan bay and inspect the existing unit (if applicable). Note the orientation and the position of any connectors or cables to ensure correct seating of the replacement.
- Carefully align the new HPE CX 10000-48Y6C Port to Power(FB) Fan with the connectors and mounting points in the chassis. Insert the module firmly until it seats securely and any latching mechanism engages.
- Reattach any panels, restore power, and verify operation. Listen for normal fan tone and confirm that the chassis reports the fan as healthy through the management interface. If available, monitor temperatures to confirm effective cooling and block-level airflow around port-to-power areas.

Excellent value for an automatic watch, keeps VERY good time.
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I've only had the watch for a day but wanted to leave a quick review on it to share a couple of notes.
So far it keeps VERY good time, better than any of the automatics I own (including a Rolex Submariner, Tag Heuer Aquaracer, Tag Heuer Formula One, and several other sub $1k watches). I set it to an atomic time app on my phone yesterday and 24 hours later it's still SPOT on - hasn't gained/lost even a 1/10 of a second. I was shocked to see it's kept PERFECT time for the last day, I'm really blown away so far. I've worn it the entire time, we'll see how well it keeps time while being stored in a winder.
This picture shown is the watch with a 22mm leather band on it, fit's without any issues (just need to squeeze in the leather a tad). I doubt it would work with a 22mm metal bracelet, but leather works great. Just FYI since the 21mm lug width is kind of odd.
The face isn't quite a lustrious as the images make it look, but it's still a great-looking watch. For a sub $1000 automatic you can't go wrong, this is a fantastic watch at a great price. It'll be my daily driver for some time I'm sure. If I have any issues in the future I'll update the review.

It looks really cool and striking.

Really cool and beautiful watch. Although my specific unit runs 5 seconds fast every day—at first it’s annoying, but eventually you stop caring. 🤣

A Beautiful Timepiece at an Awesome Price!!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
I have lusted after this watch for four months. I first tried on a similar model (stainless steel band with a green face) in a local jewelry shop (Spitz Jewlers, Walnut Creek, CA, USA). It was "love at first sight," even if I didn't love the white lines on the face from 12-6 and 3-9. At the time, the MSRP was $775.
The MSRP has since increased to $795. But I bought this beauty on Amazon.com for only $524.99; after applying the cash-back from my Prime credit card, this watch costs only $498.75. This was "the offer that I could not refuse," to quote from "The Godfather."
Accuracy could be better: after only a few days, it is now 7 seconds behind my phone (to which I set my new watch). But I don't really care about that all that much. This is why I rated "accuracy" at 4 stars, but my overall review is 5 stars.
My video shows the date changing suddenly at 11:59:59pm, just how I want it; in another photo, you can see that my Seiko changes the date more slowly, which I do not like.
This watch is absolutely phenomenally beautiful. If you're on the fence over whether to make this purchase, then I would say "go for it!" You will not find a prettier, more accurate watch at a lower price in ANY store in the entire USA.

Classy and sporty. Great value!
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Excellent watch for the price. Looks sporty and dressy. More towards dress watch. Blue is dynamic. Strongly recommend blue for sporty feel. I was thinking of aqua terra. This come close to it with a price less than what i would have paid my state tax for omega aqua terra. My only concern is bracelet which i feel kind of OK. Better bracelet design would have made this watch much superior. 21 lug width is awful. Other than that, nothing to complain.
