The host subsystem monitors the temperature of switch components. Under normal
operating conditions, the fans in the fan tray run at less than full speed. If a fan fails or
the ambient temperature rises above a threshold, the speed of the remaining fans is
automatically adjusted to keep the temperature within the acceptable range. If the
ambient maximum temperature specification is exceeded and the system cannot be
adequately cooled, the Routing Engine shuts down the system by disabling output power
from each power supply.
You cannot replace a single fan. If one or more fans fail, you must replace the entire fan
tray.
