Removing and Installing MX10016 Cooling System Components
An MX10016 router has two independent, field-replaceable fan trays. Fan trays must be replaced within the duration mentioned in Table 1.
Table 1: Replacement Duration for the Fan Tray of an MX10016
Chassis Ambient Temperature | Duration |
|---|---|
27°C | 3 minutes |
35°C | 2 minutes 46 seconds |
40°C | 2 minutes |
When replacing the fans or SIBs at 40°C chassis ambient temperature, ensure that the fans run at 100% fan speed for at least 10 minutes before replacing the fans or SIBs.
Use the test chassis fan tray 0 speed minutesfull-speed and test chassis fan tray 1 speed full-speed commands to set the chassis fans to 100% speed.
To install or remove the fan trays and fan tray controller, see the following sections:
Removing an MX10016 Fan Tray
An MX10016 has two independent, field-replaceable fan trays. Each fan tray is a hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU); you can remove and replace the fan tray while the router is running without turning off power to the router or disrupting routing functions.
Do not remove a fan tray unless you have a replacement fan tray available.
Each fan tray is installed vertically on the rear side of the chassis.
Before you remove a fan tray:
Ensure you understand how to prevent ESD damage (see Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage).
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to remove a fan tray:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
A Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 1 or 2 (optional), for the captive screws
A fan tray can be removed and replaced while the router is operating. Fan trays must be replaced within the duration mentioned in Table 1.
To remove an MX10016 fan tray see Figure 2):
- Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point on the
rear left side of the chassis (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: ESD Point on the Rear of an MX10016 
1—ESD point - Loosen the four captive screws either by unscrewing with your thumb and forefinger or by using a Phillips screwdriver.
- Grasp the top and bottom handles of the fan tray and pull
the fan tray out by about 3 in. (7.6 cm) (ee Figure 2).
Figure 2: Removing a Fan Tray from an MX10016 
- Tilt the top of the fan tray forward.
Caution See the heat symbol
on the fan tray. The fan tray handle and its surfaces, including
the power supply handles may be hot. Wear proper protective, heat-resistant,
gloves while removing the fan tray. - Using both hands, lift the fan tray out of the slot and
rest it on a flat surface with the handles to the side.
Caution Fan trays must be replaced within the duration mentioned in Table 1.

A fan tray can be removed and replaced while the router is operating.Fan trays must be replaced within the duration mentioned in Table 1.
To install an MX10016 fan tray (see Figure 4):
- Wrap and fasten one end of an ESD strap around your bare
wrist, and connect the other end of the strap to the ESD point on
the rear left side of the chassis (see Figure 3 ).
Figure 3: ESD Point on the Rear of an MX10016 1—ESD point - Grasp the top and bottom fan tray handles, and align the bottom of the fan tray with the bottom of the fan tray slot.
- Rest the bottom edge of the fan tray in the slot, and slide the fan tray into place so that the fan tray is fully seated.
- Tighten the captive screws on the faceplate of the fan tray by using your fingers. If you are unable to tighten the captive screws by using your fingers, use the screwdriver.
Removing an MX10016 Fan Tray Controller
For each of the two fan trays, there is a fan tray controller. Each controller is a hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU); you can remove and replace one fan tray controller while the router is running without turning off power to the router or disrupting routing functions. See Figure 5.
Do not remove the fan tray controller unless you have a replacement controller available.
To access a fan tray controller, you must first remove the fan tray. With the fan tray removed, the fan tray controller is installed horizontally above the Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs) at the top of the chassis.
Before you remove a fan tray controller:
Ensure you understand how to prevent ESD damage. See Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to remove a fan tray controller:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
An electrostatic bag or an antistatic mat
A number 1 Phillips (+) screwdriver to loosen the captive screws
- Remove the fan tray (see Removing an MX10016 Fan Tray).
- Loosen the two captive screws on each side of the fan tray controller.
- Grasp the fan tray controller, and pull it straight out
of the slot (see Figure 6).
Figure 6: Removing an MX10016 Fan Tray Controller 
- Place the fan tray controller in an electrostatic bag or on an antistatic mat.
Installing an MX10016 Fan Tray Controller
Each fan tray of an MX10016 has a fan tray controller (see Figure 7). Each controller is a hot-removable and hot-insertable field-replaceable unit (FRU). You can remove and replace one fan tray controller while the router is running without turning off power to the router or disrupting routing functions.
Do not remove a fan tray controller unless you have a replacement fan tray controller available.
To access a fan tray controller, you must first remove the associated fan tray. With the fan tray removed, the fan tray controller is installed horizontally above the Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs) at the top of the chassis.
Before you replace a fan tray controller:
Ensure you understand how to prevent ESD damage. See Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage.
You must have removed the associated fan tray. See Removing an MX10016 Fan Tray.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to install a fan tray controller:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
A number 1 Phillips (+) screwdriver to tighten the captive screws.
Replacement fan controller
To install a fan tray controller:
- Remove the replacement fan tray controller from the electrostatic bag.
- Carefully slide the fan tray controller into the fan tray
controller slot until it is flush with the mounting holes (see Figure 8).
