Alpine 3808 Fan Tray

The Alpine 3808 fan tray (no. 45013):
• Contains five individual fans
• Is preinstalled at the factory
• Is accessed from the front of the chassis
• Is hot-swappable which means you can remove and replace the fan tray without powering down the
switch
• Can be removed and installed by customers
CAUTION
Do not cover or obstruct the fan ventilation holes at the rear of the unit. Doing so can result in
overheating and possible damage to the Alpine 3808 switch. Thermal sensors will shut down the Alpine
3808 switch if the internal temperature exceeds 60 degrees Celsius.
ExtremeWare monitors the fan trays in the Alpine 3808 switch for failure and overheat conditions. All
fan failures and over temperature events cause the switch to send alerts to the network management
station or to the switch log. See the ExtremeWare Software User Guide for more information about switch
monitoring.
