MX10016 Cooling System
The MX10016 cooling system components work together to keep all components within the acceptable temperature range. If the maximum temperature specification is exceeded and the system cannot be adequately cooled, the Routing and Control Board shuts down some or all of the hardware components. For more information, see the following topics:
MX10016 Cooling System and Airflow
The cooling system in an MX10016 chassis consists of two fan trays and two fan tray controllers. An MX10016 has an air filter on the front panel. Two fan tray models (JNP10016-FAN and JNP10016-FAN2) and their associated fan tray controllers (JNP10016-FAN-CTRL and JNP10016-FTC2) are available. The JNP10016-FAN fans in each JNP10016-FAN-CTRL fan tray are numbered 0 through 20. The JNP10016-FAN2 fans in each JNP10016-FTC2 fan tray are numbered 0 through 41.
All models are hot-insertable and hot-removable. See MX10016 Cooling System and Airflow.

The JNP10016-FAN2 and JNP10016-FAN2-CTRL are optimized to work best in the enhanced chassis, but are backwards compatible to work in the standard chassis. To determine which chassis you have, see MX10016 Status Panel LEDs.
MX10016 Fan Trays
Each fan tray is a hot-insertable and hot-removable FRU. Each fan tray has a non-removable Control Board, and LEDs.
The two fan trays install vertically, side by side, next to the power supplies on the rear side of the chassis. Two handles on each front faceplate facilitate handling of the fan tray. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 .


If you want to replace an existing fan tray while the router is running, remove only one fan tray. The router continues to operate for a limited time with a single operating fan tray without triggering a thermal alarm.
To avoid a thermal alarm, do not remove both fan trays while the router is operating.
The chassis will shut down if a thermal alarm is raised for more than 3 minutes.
The internal fan control board in each fan tray contains LEDs for the associated fan tray controllers and LEDs for the three SFBs directly behind the fan tray.
MX10016 Fan Tray Controllers
Two fan tray controllers provide the control logic and power to hot-insert and hot-remove a fan tray. The fans in each fan tray are numbered 0 through 20.
The system continually monitors the temperature of critical parts across the chassis and adjusts the chassis fan speed according to the temperature.
There are two fan tray controller models:
-
JNP10016-FAN-CTRL—Supports the model JNP10016-FAN. See Figure 3.
Figure 3: Fan Tray Controller JNP10016-FAN-CTRL -
JNP10016-FTC2—Supports the model JNP10016-FAN2. See Figure 4.
Figure 4: Fan Controller JNP10016-FTC2
Software controls the fan speed.
Under
normal operating conditions, the fans in the fan tray run at less than
full speed.If one fan tray controller fails or
appears missing (such as when an SFB is being replaced), the other fan
tray controller sets the fans to full speed. This enables the router
to continue to operate normally as long as the remaining fans cool the
chassis sufficiently. Use the show chassis fan
command to see the status of individual fans and the fan speed.

Airflow Direction in an MX10016
The air intake to cool the chassis is located on the port (line card) side of the chassis. Air flows into the chassis from the ports in the Control Boards and line cards, through the Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs), and exits from the fan trays and the power supplies. This airflow is called port-to-FRU cooling or airflow out (AFO). See Figure 5.

The fan tray continues to operate indefinitely and provides sufficient cooling even when a single fan fails, provided the room temperature is within the operating range. You can check the status of the fans by viewing the LEDs on each fan tray. See MX10016 Fan Tray LEDs and Fan Tray Controller LEDs.
You cannot replace a single fan. If one or more fans fail, you must replace the entire fan tray.
In addition to the fan trays, there is an internal fan in each power supply.
MX10016 Fan Tray LEDs and Fan Tray Controller LEDs
Each fan tray has a set of LEDs, and each corresponding fan tray controller also has a set of LEDs. This topic covers:
MX10016 Fan Tray LEDs
Each of the two fan trays have a set of LEDs that represent the status of the fans in the fan tray, the fan tray controller, and the three Switch Fabric Boards (SFBs). The fan tray LEDs are located in the top-left corner of each fan tray. Figure 6 shows the location of the LEDs on the fan tray.

1 — Fan status LED | 3 — SFB status (SFB 0 through SFB 2 for the left fan tray and SFB
3 through 5 for the right fan tray) |
2 — Fan tray controller status |
