Removing and Installing MX10008 Cooling System Components

An MX10008 router has two independent, field-replaceable fan trays. Fan trays must be replaced within the duration mentioned in Table 1.

Table 1: Replacement Duration for the Fan Tray

Note:

When replacing the fans or SFBs at 40°C chassis ambient temperature, ensure that the fans run at 100% fan speed for at least 10 minutes before replacing the fans or SFBs.

Use the test chassis fan tray 0 speed full-speed and test chassis fan tray 1 speed full-speed commands to set the chassis fans to 100% speed.

To install or remove the fan trays and fan tray controller, see the following sections:

Removing an MX10008 Fan Tray

Before you remove a fan tray:

  • Ensure you understand how to prevent ESD damage. See Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage.

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

    • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap

    • Replacement fan tray

    • A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1 or 2 (optional), for the captive screws

An MX10008 has two independent, field-replaceable fan trays. Each fan tray is a hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU); you can remove and replace the fan tray while the router is running without turning off power to the router or disrupting routing functions. There are two models of the fan tray, JNP10008-FAN and JNP10008-FAN2.

CAUTION:

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

Each fan tray is installed vertically on the rear, or FRU-side, of the chassis.

CAUTION:

A fan tray can be removed and replaced while the router is operating. Fan trays must be replaced within the duration mentioned in Table 1.

To remove either the JNP10008-FAN or the JNP10008-FAN2 fan tray:

  1. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point on the rear left side of the chassis. See Figure 1.

  2. Loosen the four captive screws either by unscrewing with your thumb and forefinger or by using a Phillips screwdriver.
  3. Grasp the top and bottom handles and pull the fan tray out about 3 in. (7.6 cm). See Figure 2 and Figure 3.

  4. Tilt the top of the fan tray forward.
    CAUTION:

    See the heat symbol on the fan tray. The fan handle and its surfaces including the power supply handles may be hot. Wear proper protective, heat-resistant gloves while removing the fan tray.

  5. Using both hands, lift the fan tray out of the slot and rest it on a flat surface with the handles to the side.
    CAUTION:

    Fan trays must be replaced within the duration mentioned in Table 1.

Removing an MX10008 Fan Tray Controller

For each of the two fan trays, there is a fan tray controller. Each controller is a hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU); you can remove and replace one fan tray controller while the router is running without turning off power to the router or disrupting routing functions. There are two models of fan tray controller for the MX10008:

  • JNP10008-FAN-CTRL, which supports fan tray JNP10008-FAN

  • JNP10008-FTC2, which supports fan tray JNP10008-FAN2

See Figure 7 for JNP10008-FAN-CTRL and Figure 8.

CAUTION:

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

To access a fan tray controller, you must first remove the fan tray. With the fan tray removed, the fan tray controller is installed horizontally above the Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs) at the top of the chassis.

Before you remove a fan tray controller:

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to remove a fan tray controller:

  • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap

  • An electrostatic bag or an antistatic mat

  • Replacement fan tray controller

  • A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1, for the captive screws

All models of fan controller are removed using the same procedure.

  1. Remove the fan tray. See Removing an MX10008 Fan Tray.
  2. Loosen the two captive screws on each side of the fan tray controller.
  3. Grasp the fan tray controller and pull it straight out of the slot. See Removing an MX10008 Fan Tray Controller for the MX10008.
