Troubleshooting the Fan Tray

The fan trays installed along each side of the chassis house eight fans that draw room air into the chassis to maintain an acceptable operating temperature for the Routing Engine, PICs, CFEB, and other components. For a graphic depiction of the airflow, see Figure 9.

For the fan tray to function properly, the clearance around the chassis must be sufficient for unobstructed airflow. See “Clearance Requirements for Airflow and Hardware Maintenance” on page 44.

Temperature sensors on the components detect temperatures above the acceptable range. Fan failure or an excessive temperature condition triggers the red alarm LED on the craft interface. If the temperature passes the acceptable maximum, the Routing Engine shuts down the router by turning off the power supplies.

To troubleshoot the fan tray, follow these guidelines:

■Check the status of the fans in the fan tray by issuing the

show chassis environment command. The output includes an entry for each fan, as shown in this example:

user@host>	show chassis environment
Class Item		Status	Measurement
...
Fans Left	Fan 1	OK	Spinning at normal speed
Left	Fan 2	OK	Spinning at normal speed
Left	Fan 3	OK	Spinning at normal speed
Left	Fan 4	OK	Spinning at normal speed
Left	Fan 5	OK	Spinning at normal speed
Left	Fan 6	OK	Spinning at normal speed
Left	Fan 7	OK	Spinning at normal speed
Left	Fan 8	OK	Spinning at normal speed
...

For further description of the output from the command, see the JUNOS System

Basics and Services Command Reference.

■If the fan tray fails, determine whether you can distinguish individual blades in a fan—this is not possible when the fans are rotating at normal speed.

Troubleshooting PICs

To troubleshoot the PICs, follow these guidelines:

■To check the status of each port on a PIC, look at the LED located on the PIC faceplate. For information about the meaning of LED states on different PICs, see the M10i Internet Router PIC Guide.

■To check the status of a PIC, issue the following CLI command. The PIC slots in the FPC are numbered from 0 through 3, right to left:
