Fan Module Installation
For installations where the ambient temperature is
likely to be near the upper limit of the acceptable range
(see Table 3-1), a fan module must be added to the carrier
to provide forced air cooling.
Preinstallation Inspection
Check the unit for physical damage, such as broken
blades. Spin fan blades manually to test for damage. If the
fan module shows signs of damage, report this
immediately to your shipping representative and also to
your AT&T Paradyne representative. Otherwise, install
the fan module.
Installation
The optional fan module is connected to the power
transformer unit; therefore, this procedure assumes the
power transformer unit has been installed.
To install the fan module:
Procedure
1. If the fan module is being installed after the carrier
has been installed, loosen the four captive screws
(see Figure 3-10) that attach the cover plate to the
carrier and remove the cover plate. If an SDCP is
not being installed, set the cover plate aside for
reinstallation after the fan module has been
installed.

Installing the TDM or MCMP option has no effect on this table.
2
Use the strictest cooling requirements when there is a mixture of units installed.
3
Allow 1.75″ (IU) spacing between carriers if more than 3 carriers are required.
