Replacing fan assemblies

4. Insert the new fan assembly into the slot and push the assembly in until the faceplate is flush with the device. Pushing the
assembly in seats the fan connector with the device connector.
5. Tighten the four captive screws to secure the fan to the device.
6. Access the CLI, and enter the show chassis command to verify that the fans are operating normally.
Replacing the fan tray assembly in 4-slot and 8-slot routers
The fan tray assembly on Brocade MLX and NetIron XMR 4-slot and 8-slot routers is accessible from the front of the device. Fan tray
assemblies for Brocade MLXe 4-slot and 8-slot routers are accessible from the back of the device.
You can remove and replace a fan tray assembly while the router is powered on and running.
To replace a fan tray assembly, have these items available:
•
A new fan tray assembly, which you can order from Brocade.
•
An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the router.
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 megohm series resistor.
NOTE
If you did not remove the extra shipment screws from the router during installation, you will not be able to remove the fan tray
assembly. You will need to remove the router from the rack to remove the shipping screws, (refer to the installation chapter
appropriate for your router model) before you can remove the fan tray assembly.
Follow these steps to replace fan tray assemblies in 4-slot routers.
