In this entry we will expose the fan replacement for a 6350 Acme Packet/Oracle Session Border Controller.
This will be a quick entry as the task to replace fans its easy, but you need to have a clear understanding on the architecture specially in a AP6350 hardware, and we will focus on that.
The first thing is to know is that AP6300 and AP6350 have 15 independent fans on the front chassis, which are located behind the cover, here is a picture with and without the cover:
Fans are numbered 1 to 5, from left to right, arranged in 3 rows of 5 fans each:
- Bottom row is called MAIN
- Middle is FLX1
- Top is FLX2
This concludes this entry.
