ERX 11.1.x Hardware Guide
If you are using the redundant port on the GE I/O module, repeat Steps 2–7 for the
other port.
Verifying the Installation
After you have replaced the SFPs and connected the cables, issue the show interface
gigabitEthernet command for each interface to make sure that the interface is
operational (up).
Replacing Fan Trays
A tray of cooling fans provides forced air cooling for components in the ERX routers.
The fan trays are hot-swappable; you can replace them without powering down the
system. However, if you do not replace the fan tray within approximately 2 minutes,
the system enters thermal protection mode. For information about thermal protection
mode, see "Monitoring Temperatures of Modules" on page 103.
You can monitor fan status by observing the LEDs on the SRP module or on the fan
tray behind the faceplate. For complete LED information, see "Understanding Status
LEDs to Troubleshoot" on page 96.
NOTE: On the SRP module, when the LED alternates between OK and FAIL in
10–second intervals, a non-critical fan failure exists. Noncritical warnings are not
indicated on the fan tray LEDs; if the red FAN FAIL LED is illuminated, either a critical
or non-critical failure exists.
CAUTION: If the red FAN FAIL LED on the SRP module is illuminated and none of
the fans are spinning when you remove the fan tray, power down the system until
a new fan tray is available. Operating an ERX router with inadequate air circulation
can damage the modules.
