SUMMARY Learn how to remove and install a fan tray.

The ACX7348 router has four independent, field-replaceable fan trays installed on the rear of the chassis. Each fan tray is a hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU), which means that you can remove and replace the fan trays while the router is running. You remove and replace the fan trays without turning off power to the router or disrupting routing functions.

Remove a Fan Tray from the ACX7348 Router

Before you remove a fan tray:

  • Ensure that you understand how to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.

  • Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to remove a fan tray from the ACX7348 router:

    • ESD grounding strap

    • Replacement fan tray

CAUTION:

Do not remove the fan tray unless you have a replacement fan tray available.

You can access the fan tray on an ACX7348 router from the front or the rear of the chassis.
