Fuses
The router uses fuses from the Cooper Bussman brand GMT series for the FPCs,
MCSs, PCGs, and SFMs. The fuses are located in a fuse box on the rear ofthe
midplane. When the fuse for a component blows, the component stops functioning
even though it is installed correctly and the power sup plies are providing power to
the router. For more information, see “Bl own Fuse Indicators” on page 211. For
fuse replacement instructions,see “Replacing a Fuse” on page 204.
Cooling System
The cooling system includes a fan tray and several impellers that draw room air into
the chassis to keep its internal temperature below a maximum acceptable level.
When the temperature is below the maximum, the fans and impellers function
at less than full speed. If the MCS detects that the temperature of a component
has exceeded the acceptablemaximum—for example, because an impelleris
removed—itautomatically increases the speed of the remaining impellers and fans
to reduce the temperature. The fans and impellers can function at the higher
speed indefinitely.
