4.2.5 Fan and Heat Dissipation
Each OptiX OSN 8800 T64 subrack has four fan tray assemblies, each of which includes
three independent fans. In each subrack, the lower fan tray assembly has an air filter, but the
upper fan tray assembly does not. The user can withdraw, clean, and replace each air filter.
Version Description
Only one functional version of the fan tray assembly is available, that is, TN51.

Functions
Function
Description
Basic function
Dissipates the heat generated by a network element (NE), so
that the NE can operate normally within the designated
temperature range.
Commissioning control
Auto Speed Mode: Implements automatic fan speed
regulation, depending on the subrack temperature.
Adjustable Speed Mode: You can manually adjust the fan
speed.
Section-dependent heat
dissipation
Each subrack is divided into six sections to provide efficient
heat dissipation. The fan speed in each section is independently
regulated.
Hot swapping
Provides the hot swapping function for the fan tray assembly.
Alarming
Reports alarms of the fans, and reports the in-service
information.
Status checking
Checks and reports on the fan status.
Working Principle
A fan tray assembly inside a subrack ventilates the subrack to ensure that the subrack works
effectively at an appropriate temperature. The fan tray assembly is located in the lower
portion of a subrack. It draws in air into the subrack, forming an air duct from bottom to top.
Other boards in the subrack are installed vertically. In other words, the boards are parallel to
the air duct. This design ensures reliable heat dissipation.
