Step 4
Place the fan on a flat and stable surface (for example, a table top) until you are ready to reinsert it into
the fan tray.
Step 5
Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for each fan.
Step 6
Position the fan tray chassis, which occupies 2 RUs of space, above the POTS splitter.

intake plenum and for cabling back to front for the OC-3c network interface module.
Step 7
Use four mounting screws and a Phillips-head screwdriver to bolt the fan tray in the rack above the
POTS splitter. See Figure 1 for the correct placement of the fan tray.
Step 8
Align a fan with the fan tray slide rails inside the fan tray.
Step 9
Slide the fan into the fan tray.

Tighten the thumbscrew above the fan.
