The cooling system in an EX8208 switch consists of a single fan tray.
Fan Tray
The fan tray is a hot-insertable and hot-removable field-replaceable unit (FRU). The fan tray contains 12
fans.
The fan tray installs vertically on the left side on the front of the chassis and provides side-to-side chassis
cooling. A handle on the front faceplate facilitates handling of the fan tray. See
Figure 8 on page

for a limited time (2 minutes) during the replacement of the fan tray without thermal shutdown.
