Installing upward
deectors on fan assemblies
Before beginning this procedure, verify that you have the correct number of upward deectors (part number 80-1004745-01). You can
install up to eight deectors on each router. You can remove each fan assembly while the router is running; however, you must not
remove more than one fan assembly at any time to prevent the router from overheating.
NOTE
If the router is not receiving power, you can remove more than one fan assembly at a time.
It will take about one hour to complete this procedure for each Brocade MLXe-32 router.
The following items are required for this procedure:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Small athead screwdriver
• ESD wrist strap
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megaohm resistor.
