• An ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection to the ESD connector on the router.
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a 1 megohm series resistor.
If you did not remove the extra shipment screws from the router during installation, you will not be
able to remove the fan tray assembly. You will need to remove the router from the rack to remove
the shipping screws, (refer to the installation chapter appropriate for your router model) before you
can remove the fan tray assembly.
Follow these steps to replace fan tray assemblies in 4-slot routers.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector on
the router.
2. To remove the fan tray assembly from the router, push down on the latch release with your
thumb, grasp the handle, and pull it toward you as shown in Figure 159, Figure 160,
Figure 161 and Figure 161. Pulling the assembly unseats the fan tray assembly connector from
a router connector.
Be careful not to insert your fingers into the fan while removing it. The fan may still be spinning at
a high speed.
