Fan

The Acme Packet 6300/6350 chassis draws cool ambient air through the chassis through intake fans and is exhausted through perforated air outlets located along the rear of the chassis. To avoid overheating the system, do not block the air intake or exhaust ways or otherwise obstruct airflow to the system in any way.

The following figure shows one Acme Packet 6300/6350 fan. The individual fan attaches to the chassis with two captive screws, and is powered by a connector that joins to the motherboard when screwed into the chassis.

Fan Installation/Removal Screws

The Acme Packet 6300/6350 automatically adjusts fan speed based on the current operational status and environmental conditions. Fan speed regulation is an automated process that requires no user intervention. You can monitor the status of the fan speed from the Environment menu of the graphic display.

If the Acme Packet 6300/6350 experiences a fan module malfunction and generates an alarm, you must remove the existing fan module and replace it with a fully functioning fan module. A visible FAULT LED identifies the malfunctioning Fan.
