Enabling The Service Mode Before Removing The Fan Tray; Removing The Fan Tray From The Front - Cisco Catalyst 9404R Switch Hardware Installation Manual

Enabling the Service Mode Before Removing the Fan Tray

Enabling the Service Mode Before Removing the Fan Tray
This procedure describes how you can enable the service mode by using Cisco IOS commands before you
remove the fan tray from the chassis. Enabling the service mode pushes the fans to operate at full speed and
cool the system down sufficiently, allowing the system to sustain temperatures for the duration of servicing.
In a system that is operational, this applies to removal or replacement procedures from the front and the rear.
You do not have to enable this mode if you are removing and replacing the fan tray in a system that is not
powered on.
Starting in the privileged EXEC mode, enter the following commands:
Procedure
Step 1
Switch# configure terminal
Step 2
Switch(config)# service internal
Step 3
Switch(config)# end
Step 4
Switch# test platform hardware chassis fantray service-mode on
What to do next
1. Proceed with the removal or replacement of the fan tray.
2. After the new or replacement fan tray is installed, turn off the service mode:
Switch# test platform hardware chassis fantray service-mode off
