Installing a Fan Tray in an EX8208 Switch

An EX8208 switch has a single, field-replaceable fan tray. The fan tray is a hot-insertable and hot-removable field-replaceable unit (FRU); you can remove and replace the fan tray while the switch is running without turning off power to the switch or disrupting switching functions.

The fan tray installs vertically on the left side on the front of the chassis. A handle on the front faceplate facilitates handling of the fan tray. There is a spring-loaded latch on the base of the fan tray that is used to latch the fan tray into the chassis.

Before you begin to install a fan tray:

•Ensure you understand how to prevent ESD damage. See “Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage on EX Series Switches” on page 292.

Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install a fan tray in an

EX8208 switch:

•Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap

CAUTION: The fan tray can be removed and replaced while the switch is operating. However, the fan tray must be replaced within 2 minutes of removing the fan tray to prevent the chassis from overheating.
