An air filter is installed on the lower fan tray assembly to prevent dust from entering the subrack. 
 
Valid Slots 
The fan tray assembly occupies one slot. The valid slots for the fan tray assembly are IU90, 
IU91, IU92 and IU93 in the OptiX OSN 8800 T64 subrack. 
Specifications of the Fan Tray Assembly 
Table 4-17 lists the technical specifications of the fan tray assembly. 
 
For transport equipment, the heat consumption and power consumption are similar and can be 
considered the same. Heat consumption is expressed in BTU/h and power consumption is expressed in 
W. The conversion between the two units is as follows:    1 BTU/h = 0.2931 W.

The average life span of a fan tray assembly varies depending 
on the actual environment. Environments can be classified as 
follows: 
 
Class A environment: refers to the indoor environment 
where the ambient temperature and humidity are 
controlled (including inhabited rooms). 
 
Class B environment: refers to the indoor environment 
where the ambient temperature and humidity are not 
controlled or the common outdoor environment where 
only simple shelter (such as awning) is available and the 
humidity occasionally reaches 100%. 
The average life spans of fan tray assemblies in different 
environments are as follows: 
 
Class A environment: 6.5 years 
 
Class B environment: 5 years 
NOTE 
The previous life spans are the average values concluded based on the 
test data in a lab and the theoretical model, rather than the actual 
values. They are for reference only. The actual life span must be 
determined based on the environment conditions of a specific area. In
