Air Ventilation Unit (AVU)
The 2U high, 84 HP wide AVU includes a 1U high integral chamber for
inlet airflow and a 1U high fan tray with an internal alarm module. To
support high availability Base Station, the fan tray includes 10 brush-
less fans, where 9 fans are sufficient for cooling a fully loaded chassis.
To further support high availability, the chassis may operate with the
hot-swappable fan tray extracted from it for a period of time sufficient
for replacing it (up to 10 minutes).

If the red ALRM LED is on while the PWR LED is green, it indicates a
failure of at least one fan. Although the Base Station chassis may
continue operating with one failed fan, it is recommended to replace the
AVU as soon as possible.
To replace an AVU drawer:
1. Release the 4 screws securing the AVU to the chassis.
2. Using the handle take out the faulty chassis.
3. Insert a new AVU drawer and close the screws. The replacement
should be completed in less than 10 minutes.
