Replacing the fan tray assembly in 4-slot and 8-slot routers
The fan tray assemblies for Brocade MLXe 4-slot and 8-slot routers are accessible from the back of
the device.
You can remove and replace a fan tray assembly while the router is powered on and running.
To replace a fan tray assembly, have these items available:
• A new fan tray assembly, which you can order from Brocade.
• 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.
