Hardware Features of Cisco 4000 Series ISRs
Fans, Ventilation, and Airflow
Chassis Ventilation
Router and chassis temperature is regulated with internal fans. An onboard temperature sensor controls
the fan speed. The fans are always on when the router is powered on. Under most conditions, the fans
operate at the slowest speed to conserve power and reduce fan noise. When necessary, the fans operate
at the higher speeds under conditions of higher ambient temperature. To replace Cisco 4451 ISR,
Cisco 4431 ISR, and Cisco ISR4351 fan trays, see the
“Replace a Fan Tray” section on page 6-53
