Upgrading the Rear Fan Tray in an Operational T1600 Router

Caution: To maintain proper cooling, do not operate the T1600 router with the rear fan tray removed for more than one minute.

To determine if you need to replace the rear fan tray, see Overview of Preparing to Upgrade and Integrate an Operational T1600 Router.

1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2. Replace the rear fan tray with the model required for a converted T1600 router. Use the standard replacement procedure described in the T1600 Core Router Hardware Guide .
3. Display the status of the fans in the router by issuing the show chassis environment command. The output is similar to the following:
   user@host> show chassis environment
