    the strange part is Fan Tray 2 LED is ON and its not off and when i put a little tissue paper on fan tray 2 it seems the fan tray is working but i do not know why does in qfx it shows as failed,

    i have reboot whole of the switches but the issue still exists,

    Hi,

     

    if it is happening again and again you better get the FPC0 replaced.

    Hello,

    last month i replaced whole of the VC member with new qfx3500 but it seems its related something tot eh software.

    i have read in juniper kb that qfx5100 has same issue when the fan working outside of the range, and am i using  15.1R7.8 , is it possible this is relared to the software?

    because currently i put a smal tissue paper on Fan Tray 2 (mgmt board) it seems it was working fine
