Remove and Install Individual Fans
The individual fan is a user-serviceable, hot-pluggable component. There are 15 individual fans in the Net- Net 6300. If the Acme Packet 6300/6350 experiences a fan malfunction, you must remove the existing fan and replace it with a functional one.
The hot-pluggable fan removal and replacement procedures require that you have a replacement fan on hand. In order to maintain system operations you must be able to remove the malfunctioning fan and quickly replace it with a functioning one to prevent the system from overheating.
Note:
An over temperature condition can stop packet processing.If you do not have a replacement fan nearby, always shut down the system and disconnect the power before removing the malfunctioning fan to replace it at a later time.
When removing and replacing a fan, remember to first ground yourself using appropriate ESD grounding equipment such as a wrist or heel strap.
