Maintaining QFX10016 Cooling System Components

QFX10016 routers have two independent, field-replaceable fan trays. To install or remove the fan trays and fan tray controller, see the following sections.

Removing a QFX10016 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 from a QFX10016 chassis:

    • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap

    • Replacement fan tray

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

The QFX10016 chassis have 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 switch is running without turning off power to the switch or disrupting switching functions.

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:

The fan tray can be removed and replaced while the switch is operating. However, the fan tray must be replaced within 3 minutes of removing the fan tray to prevent overheating of the chassis.

To remove a QFX10016 fan tray (see Figure 2.

  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 with 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.

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

    Replace a fan tray within three minutes to avoid chassis overheating.

Installing a QFX10016 Fan Tray

Before you begin to install a fan tray:

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install a fan tray in a QFX10016 chassis:

  • Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap

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

  • A replacement fan tray

CAUTION:

The fan tray can be removed and replaced while the switch is operating. However, the fan tray must be replaced within three minutes of removing the fan tray to prevent the chassis from overheating.

The QFX10016 chassis 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 switch is running without turning off power to the switch or disrupting switching functions.

To install a a QFX10016 fan tray, see Figure 4:

  1. Attach the 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 3.

  2. Grasp the top and bottom fan tray handles and align the bottom of the fan tray with the bottom of the fan tray slot.
  3. Rest the bottom edge of the fan tray in the slot and slide the fan tray into place so it is fully seated.
  4. Tighten the captive screws until finger tight. See Figure 4.

Removing a QFX10016 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 switch is running without turning off power to the switch or disrupting switching functions. See Figure 5.

Figure 5: QFX10016 Fan Tray ControllerQFX10016 Fan Tray Controller
CAUTION:

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

In order 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 interface boards (SIBs) 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 from a QFX10016:

  • 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

  1. Remove the fan tray. See Removing a QFX10016 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 Figure 6.
