2.2.3 Cooling System
‘The cooling system consists of the following components:
cool air intake duct
air intake filter
‘dual fan trays
fan tray air guide
hot air rear exhaust
exhaust air-deflector accessory
APEQ air filter
‘The cooling system components work together to keep the intemal components
within the acceptable temperature range. Loss of a fan tray or individual axial fan has
ne negative impact on system, routing, or forwarding functions.
‘There are multiple temperature sensors distributed throughout the system on
components and cards. The highest temperature from any sensor is reported as the
‘temperature for that component or card.

‘The main system fans pull cool air in through the front intake grill, up through the air
filter and up through the cards, then exhaust the hot air through top-rear vents; see
Figure 14. Ifthe exhaust air-deftector (optional) is installed, all ofthe hot air exhausts
‘to the upper-rear; see Figure 15.

enclosure, and then exhausts the hot air out the bottom-rear of the chassis.
Note: ff you install the router ir a cabinet or other enclosure, ensure that air intake and
=>) exhaust flows are not restricted in any way: see Table 33.2.2.3.2 Fan Trays
The main card array is cooled by cool air drawn through the chassis by two hot-
swappable fan trays designated Fan Tray 1 and Fan Tray 2; see Figure 16. For 7950
XRS-40 systems, fan trays in the extension chassis are designated Fan Tray 3 and
Fan Tray 4.

Fan Tray 1: Eight axial fane per fan tray under independent control
Fan Tray air guide
elope
Fan Tray 2: Eight axial fans per fan tray under independent control
Each fan tray contains eight axial fans. Each axial fan within the tray is independently
controlled, which allows the axial fans to independently operate within the system.
Gn startup, the fans slowly ramp to the appropriate speed required for ambient and
device operating temperatures.
Fan failure is indicated on the front the system by means of the alarm LEDs on the
CCM; see section 13.1. In addition, each fan tray has an LED that indicates fan
status. For a full description of the Fan Status LED behavior, see section 13.7.‘The bottom fan tray (FanTray2) is housed inside a trapdoor assembly (see
Figure 16) that prevenss air from recirculating when the bottom fan tray is removed
for servicing. When thetop fan tray (Fan Tray1)}is removed for servicing, airexhausts
‘from the empty fan tray slot. Whille the removal of the top fan tray may affect over-all
cooling capacity, the echaust from the empty fan tray slot will not affect the cooling
capacity of the chassis.
Both fan trays should elways be installed and fully operational while the system is in
normal operation. The fan trays are accessed from the rear of the chassis.
‘The system is shipped with two factory-installed fan trays. You must replace the
entire tray if an individval axial fan fails; see section 14.6.
2.2.3.3 Air Filters
‘The system has two serviceable air filters; one main card array air filter (Figure 17)
and one APEQ air filter, which is attached to the front of the APEQ access panel, cee
Figure 18.
Note: For deployment o' HVDC and AC APEQs, the APEQ acvess panel with APEQ sir
fiter is not used: see Instaling APEGs and Gonnecting Power, section 0.
‘They are factory install2d.and field replaceable. The air filters prevent large particles,
debris, and dust from entering and circulating through the system. Filters should be
inspected monthly and replaced when indications of accumulated dust are present.
To cervice air filters, see section 14.1Main System Air Filter Drawer

“The system has two serviceable ai ters; one main system air fiter and one APEQ

dust accumulation are found, schedule a maintenance task to remove and replace
‘the airfiters.
