Removing and Replacing the Blower Module

OL-11496-01
The illustrations in this procedure represent both the original and newer enhanced
capacity blower modules for the Cisco 12010, Cisco 12410, and Cisco 12810
series routers. Depending on your system, the blower module shown may not look
exactly like the one in your chassis, but the removal and replacement procedures
are essentially the same.
There are currently two types of blower modules in use for the Cisco 12010, Cisco
12410, and Cisco 12810 series routers; blowers that shipped with original
systems, and enhanced capacity blowers that ship with current systems.
If you are replacing an:
Original blower module (GSR10-BLOWER=)—Use an original blower
•
module or an enhanced capacity blower module as a replacement.
Enhanced capacity blower module (12000/10/16-BLWER=)—Use an
•
enhanced capacity blower module as a replacement.
If you upgraded your router with a power supply upgrade kit (2800 W
Note
PEMs) and your system is required to meet NEBS extended temperature
range requirements, you must install the enhanced capacity blower
module (12000/10/16-BLWER=) to meet those requirements.
