If the fan tray is removed and not replaced within the stipulated time, then the system will automatically
power off. If the system is powered off, the AC or the DC input should be turned off for at least 30 seconds
for all the PSU in the system simultaneously, and then turned on for the router to power on.
Note
To avoid erroneous failure messages, allow at least 2 minutes for the system to reinitialize, after the fan
tray has been removed or replaced. This is applicable when the RSP1 and RSP2 modules are installed in
the chassis.
