Exhaust Plenum/Fan Tray
The 2RU exhaust plenum/fan tray for the MGX 8880 is installed above the chassis (see Figure 1-46 for
location). The plenum/fan tray pulls air up through the modules to cool the modules . Then the air is
forced out of the exhaust plenum/fan tray, as shown in Figure 1-49.
Caution If a fan tray fails, replace it immediately.
MGX 8880 Redundancy Connector
The MGX 8880 Media Gateway ships with two built-in redundancy connectors (RCONs). These RCONs
are installed on the upper right and lower right bays of the c hassis when viewed from the rear, They
support cards in slots 1–6 and 17–22. These RCONs are keyed to ensure cards are inserted properly (see
Figure 1-53).
