To Install a Fan

To obtain a replacement fan, contact your Acme Packet customer support representative directly.

Replacing the fan is the reverse process of removing it.

To install an individual fan:

Note: The power connector should be on the lower side of the module when inserted into the Acme Packet 6300/6350 chassis.

  1. Carefully align the pins on the back of the fan with the holes in the chassis midplane and install the fan into the slot.
