Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router 2-Slot Fan Tray

Upgrade or restore peak cooling performance in your Cisco ASR 9000 environment with this refurbished 2-Slot Fan Tray designed specifically for the 2U chassis. Engineered to Cisco’s exacting standards, this unit delivers reliable airflow, quiet operation, and swift hot-swappable replacement to minimize downtime in mission-critical networks. Ideal for data centers and service providers seeking cost-effective maintenance upgrades, the 2-Slot Fan Tray ensures your high-capacity Aggregation Services Router stays cool under heavy load, preserving performance and extend­ing hardware life. This refurbished option combines OEM reliability with substantial cost savings, making it a practical choice for network engineers who demand service continuity and dependable cooling in demanding deployments.

• Designed for the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router, this 2-slot fan tray fits the 2U rack-mount format and is created to slide into standard chassis bays with minimal downtime. Its hot-swappable design lets technicians replace or upgrade fans without powering down the entire system, helping maintain uptime in busy data centers and carrier environments. The unit is compatible with multi-slot cooling arrangements used in high-traffic networks, ensuring consistent airflow across critical components such as line cards, switch fabric, and control-plane hardware.
• Robust cooling performance supports high-throughput network traffic. The dual fan arrangement is engineered to sustain stable temperatures during peak operation, reducing thermal throttling risks and preserving router performance under sustained loads. By maintaining optimal airflow paths and preventing hot spots, this fan tray helps extend hardware longevity and minimizes performance degradation during periods of elevated utilization.
• Certified refurbished to OEM standards, this fan tray undergoes comprehensive testing, cleaning, and inspection to ensure reliable operation. Each unit is evaluated for airflow, bearing integrity, and electrical connections, then restored to factory-like specifications. Refurbished gear offers a cost-effective route to maintain Cisco-grade reliability while reducing total cost of ownership and avoiding unnecessary capital expenditure on new hardware.
• Value-driven solution for maintenance and lifecycle management. The 2-Slot Fan Tray provides a practical path to replace aging or failing cooling components without replacing entire routers. For operators managing large fleets of ASR 9000 devices, the refurbished tray supports predictable maintenance windows, easier spare-part planning, and improved uptime metrics, contributing to overall network reliability and service quality.
• Warranty, support, and documentation accessibility help ensure a smooth deployment. Even as refurbished equipment, Cisco-standard components are documented with technical specs and installation notes to assist field engineers. Supplemental support channels, return policies, and access to technical resources can further minimize risk and ensure that the installation aligns with internal change-management processes.

How to install Cisco ASR 9000 Series 2-Slot Fan Tray

• Power down procedures: Before installation, power down the router according to your organization’s change-management policy, and disconnect the power cords to ensure a safe replacement process.
• Access and preparation: Remove the equipment cover as required and locate the 2U bay designated for the 2-slot fan tray. Inspect the slot for any obstructions or debris that could affect airflow or mounting.
• Remove the existing tray: If replacing an existing fan tray, carefully unlatch and slide the old unit out of its bay, ensuring that any attached connectors or shrouds are safely detached without forcing components.
• Install the refurbished tray: Align the new 2-slot fan tray with the chassis guide rails, slide it into the bay until it seats firmly, and secure the mounting screws or latches as specified by Cisco’s chassis guidelines. Confirm that the tray is fully seated and aligns with the airflow direction required by the system layout.
• Reconnect and test: Reattach any shrouds or covers, reconnect power, and boot the router. Verify that both fans spin up appropriately, listen for normal operating noise (no unusual grinding or vibration), and confirm airflow indicators are within accepted tolerances. Monitor thermal sensors to ensure temperatures remain within recommended ranges under load.
