Installing NIBI-16-FAN-EXH-A fan assemblies
NOTE
You can remove and replace fan assemblies and switch fabric modules while the Brocade MLX
16-slot router is powered on and running.
CAUTION
To avoid overheating of the router, remove one fan assembly at a time, and replace it promptly.
Do not remove all fans from the device at once.
To install the high speed fans, you need the following:
• Two high-speed fan assemblies, as shown in Figure 128.
• A small flat-blade screwdriver.
• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the router chassis.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 megohm series resistor.
