An alarm is sent to the OMC-R if a fan unit fails. Although the traffic is not
interrupted, you must replace the fan as soon as possible, to prevent the
system from overheating.
Running the system longer than 30 seconds with less than three blowers
damages the system.
If you exchange a fan tray in a running system ensure that the exchange
procedure is finished within 1 minute.
A fan cover in a running system can not be removed more than 3 minutes.
Operating the system without cooling causes overheating of system
components.
