Figure 13: PTX10003 Fan Module
Serial number
ID label
You remove and replace a fan module from the FRU end of the chassis. The router continues to operate
for a limited period of time (30 seconds) during the replacement of the fan module without thermal
shutdown.
NOTE:
All fan modules must be installed for optimal operation of the router.
NOTE:
If a fan module fails and the remaining fan modules are unable to keep the PTX10003
within the desired temperature thresholds, chassis alarms are raised and the PTX10003 might shut
down.
