Removing and Installing the Fan Tray and Power Supplies in a Cisco 3845 Router

Step 3 Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the two captive retention screws, one on each side of the motherboard.

Removing and Installing the Fan Tray and Power Supplies in a Cisco 3845 Router

The Cisco 3845 router accommodates two hot-swappable power supplies in bays at the front of the router. A single power supply meets router requirements. The second power supply provides redundancy, load sharing, and increased router availability. Either power supply can be removed without affecting router operation. Any combination of two power supplies is permitted.

Caution To comply with Telcordia NEBS GR-1089-Core and EN 300386 requirements, you must use foil twisted-pair cable that is properly grounded at both ends.

To remove or install a power supply, you must first remove the fan tray assembly. Follow the same procedure to replace the fan tray assembly with a new one.

Step 1 Flip open the four small doors on the edges of the router front panel to gain access to the screws holding the fan tray assembly. See Figure 74. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen these screws and remove the fan tray assembly.

To replace the fan tray assembly without removing or installing power supplies, continue with Step 6.

Caution If the router is operating on a second power supply, it can run for up to 5 minutes without fans. During this period you see a fan tray warning message on the console.
