Netgear AFT402 Modular Fan Tray for M4500 Switches

In enterprise networks, reliable cooling is as critical as the throughput itself. The Netgear AFT402 Modular Fan Tray is engineered to keep high-performance M4500 switches operating at peak efficiency. Compatible with select NETGEAR Managed Switches in the M4500 family, including M4500-32C (CSM4532) and M4500-48XF8C (XSM4556), this fan tray supports a robust 4+2 redundancy scheme. Its modular, hot-swappable design minimizes maintenance downtime and enables quick field replacements, ensuring your data center, campus, or edge deployments stay online under heavy load. With precise airflow management and enterprise-grade reliability, the AFT402 is a smart investment for ongoing network performance and hardware longevity.

  • Proven cooling performance for M4500 switches: The AFT402 delivers balanced airflow across all six positions, ensuring uniform temperature management for CPU, memory, and power rails. By maintaining consistent thermal conditions, it helps prevent hotspots, sustain high-throughput performance, and protect sensitive components during peak traffic periods and virtualization workloads.
  • 4+2 redundancy for mission-critical uptime: Four active fans provide continuous cooling while two spare modules monitor health and instantly take over if a fan fails. This redundancy dramatically reduces the risk of overheating, preserves latency, and minimizes the risk of thermal throttling that can impact application performance in core networks and data centers.
  • Modular, hot-swappable design for rapid maintenance: The AFT402 is purpose-built for fast field service. Its modular tray slides into the switch backplane with standardized connectors, allowing technicians to replace a faulty unit in minutes without a prolonged outage. The design supports quick diagnostics, simplified inventory management, and streamlined service processes.
  • High-efficiency fans and quiet operation: Engineered for energy efficiency, the six fans deliver reliable airflow while keeping noise levels within acceptable ranges for office-adjacent data centers and multi-tenant environments. This combination of performance and acoustic discipline helps maintain a productive workspace while sustaining optimal thermal margins in dense deployments.
  • Seamless integration with the M4500 ecosystem: AFT402 is tailored for NETGEAR M4500 series switches, aligning with existing thermal-management architectures and management features. It complements onboard temperature sensors and fan-monitoring software, enabling proactive health alerts, predictive maintenance, and consistent cooling across your entire switch fleet.

How to install Netgear AFT402

  • Prepare for installation: Gather the AFT402 replacement tray, an anti-static strap, and the appropriate service documentation for your M4500 model. Verify you have the correct tray revision compatible with your current switch firmware and hardware.
  • Review maintenance policy: Determine whether the replacement will be performed with the system powered down or in place compliance with hot-swap guidelines for your environment. In many setups, hot-swapping is supported, but always follow NETGEAR’s official guidance for your firmware version and chassis configuration.
  • Access the fan bay: Power down or pause active workloads as required by your maintenance window. Open the switch chassis or fan bay access panel to reach the modular fan tray area. Use proper tools and avoid touching sensitive components.
  • Remove the existing tray (if replacing): Release any retention latches or screws securing the current tray. Gently disconnect any cables or sensors associated with the fan tray if present, keeping the connectors aligned and avoiding excessive force.
  • Install the AFT402: Align the AFT402 with the backplane connectors and slide it firmly into the slot until it seats completely. Engage retention latches or screws as specified by your model’s design to secure the tray in place.
  • Reconnect and power up: If the device was powered down, reapply power and allow the switch to boot. If hot-swapping, proceed with the tray replacement without powering down, following NETGEAR’s hot-swap procedure for your firmware level.
  • Verify operation: Check the switch management interface for a healthy fan status across all six positions. Confirm that all LEDs indicate proper operation and that the thermal sensors report temperatures within normal operating ranges.
  • Test under load: When feasible, apply a representative load to the network and monitor cooling performance. Look for stable fan speeds, absence of thermal alarms, and maintained performance under sustained traffic.

Comfortable, Quick Drying, but Shipping Creases Were Difficult to Remove
Color: Misty Blue, Size: Large, Color: Misty Blue, Size: Large
This is a nice looking lightweight, long sleeve casual shirt. It is made of primarily polyester with a little spandex. My husband said the shirt fit as expected and was comfortable. He noted the sleeves are a little long on him, which makes me believe it would fit a tall person nicely as my husband is of average height (5‘8“). The shirt arrived in a vacuum pack plastic bag which caused it to have significant wrinkles (see photos). I initially tried tossing it in my dryer on the “rapid refresh“ steam cycle to see if it would remove the wrinkles. The shirt, came out with virtually no change to the wrinkles,. I then tried laundering and drying it to see if that would remove the wrinkles. Again, virtually no change. Finally, I pressed the shirt as per the care label. I mostly pressed it from the wrong side, or, in areas where that wasn’t feasible, I used a press cloth. I ended up using the “silk” setting on my iron because the synthetic setting would not remove the wrinkles. After pressing, the shirt, looks nice. I’ve included the one picture of it after I pressed it. I’m hoping that the shirt, will be as resistant to wrinkling as it was to having the wrinkles removed! Also, I noticed that the shirt seems to be well constructed. I’ve included one photo I took while pressing it from the wrong side that shows how nice the seams look. Pros: Comfortable Fits as expected. Attractive color Quality construction Launders nicely Dries quickly Cons: Shipping wrinkles resistant to removal On the upper end of price range for comparable shirts

Comfortable and stylish
I wanted something to wear in warmer weather that was full length and offered some protection against the sun when working and playing outdoors (I'm a ginger so this is a real problem for or else I turn into a lobster). I had gotten some very nice slacks that I can wear and still look professional, and this shirt complements those very well. This is a nice, loose-fitting long-sleeved shirt that you can wear pretty much anywhere outdoors and is perfect for golf or frisbee or even just corporate picnics. It's not going to overheat you if you wear this in the sun in summertime as it's loose enough that air still flows. It's only SPF 30, so I guess if you need more than that you'll either need lotion or another shirt? It's machine washable and as my pictures show I washed mine and all the wrinkles promptly disappeared, which I though was a hug win. I ordered the size I normally wear (XL) and what the sizing charts suggested and this does fit as expected. The fabric feels a little stretchy, but it's not like a pair of cotton sweatpants or anything, just enough give to allow plenty of comfort while moving around doing normal things. For less than $50 I have a nice, business casual pullover I can wear lots of places and feel dressed up enough to fit in.

Simple and not Drama claim process.
’ve had Asurion coverage for a couple of years and never needed to use it until recently, when my pool salt cell (less than two years old) stopped working. I had purchased it with an Asurion protection plan, so I contacted them to start a claim. The process was simple and straightforward to follow. In the end, they honored the plan and covered the cost of my salt cell based on the value when I originally bought it. They issued me a gift card that I could use on Amazon for that amount. While prices have gone up and a new cell now costs about $200 more, it was still definitely worth having the coverage. Overall, I’m satisfied with how the claim was handled.

Love this protection plan
Quick and easy. My daughter's cracked her screen on her phone, as soon as it happened I went on the app, filed the claim. Ten minutes later I received the email with the shipping lable. The following day I dropped the phone off at ups and 4 hours later I received the digital gift card. Ive filed several claims since getting the protection plan and with four kids its definitelysomething im glad to have especially since i dont have to buy a protectionplan for each item now. I have filed claims for electric scooter the stoped working for no reason, my son's phone stopped charging, my oldest daughter cracked her phone screen, my son's video game controllers up and died and each time it was quick and easy and no fuss

Don't waste your money - these people will not help you
On March 9th 2024, I purchased a MCombo Lift Chair costing $785. On the same day, through the same Amazon account (my PERSONAL account since I also have a business account), I purchased an Asurion Complete Protect policy at the cost of $16.99 per month plus taxes. About one month ago, a problem arose with the chair that required me to make a claim using the "Complete Protect" policy that I had purchased for that very item. The claim was initiated on January 1st, 2025 - On January 3rd, I received an email asking me for photographs showing the damage for which I was making a claim. I sent those photographs via email to the address provided on January 6th. On January 27th, having not received ANY response from Asurion, I contacted them via phone and was told that my purchase had been made with a business account, that it was being used for business purposes, and was therefore not covered. I assured the Asurion Representative that it was most certainly not a business use, and that the chair that I was claiming for had been purchased because I had extensive shoulder surgery done that made it impossible to get in and out of bed. After speaking (unsuccessfully) with the Asurion Rep, I then contacted Amazon Customer Service. I spoke with an Amazon Customer Service Representative on the phone who confirmed that I had in fact used my personal account to purchase the chair and the Asurion Complete Protect policy. That representative went on to send a message to Asurion on my behalf confirming that the purchase was for personal use and not business use. Asurion responded, asking me to call them with the order number for the Asurion purchase. The number I gave was the exact same order number on my order history, however, the Asurion Rep could not find it. I was finally able to discover that the order number in Asurion's system was entirely different and isn't even in the same format as an Amazon order number. Upon the Asurion representative finding my plan, she informed me that the chair was listed as being purchased for business use (despite Amazon confirming that it was NOT) but that I should give them "a couple of business days" to resolve the issue. Five business days later, still no response and so I called them again (Yesterday - February 1st 2025)... Lo and behold, I got the same crap yet again... the purchase was listed as business use and was therefore being denied, but she promised to remove the business use commentary and put the claim through again. Today, February 2nd, I called Amazon yet again to escalate and had to call THREE times because the first two calls resulted in me finally being connected to an Asurion representative (two different reps) and each time, the Asurion representative hung up the phone as soon as my name was mentioned. It has become clear to me that the Asurion "Complete Protect" policy is a SCAM - they will NOT take care of your issue, regardless of how long you've been paying. I have been paying every month since March 9th last year - so they've received over $170 from me thus far, with zero other claims, and if I am able to cancel right now, I will only receive $16.99 back. All I want, is the chair that I purchased the policy for coverage of, to be repaired or replaced. Asurion are NOT helping, and are actively avoiding contact. At this point, I am considering legal action against Asurion for fraud - perhaps even a Class Action. I'll wait and see if my issue gets resolved within the next 10 days or so.
