Replacing the Fan on a Junos Space Appliance

The Junos Space appliance ships with two field-replaceable fans that are hot-swappable. You can remove and replace a fan without powering off the appliance or disrupting any functions.

When a fan fails, the full cooling load switches to the remaining fan and the red Hardware Fault LED on the front panel of the appliance blinks and an alarm sounds.

Note:

The LEDs on the front panel of the JA2500 are arranged vertically, as shown in Figure 1.
