In the past 9 days I've found that 3 of our Catalyst 6500 WS-X67xx cards (2 WS-X6748-GE-TX & 1 WS-X6748-SFP) had dislodged heat fins. The fins are supposed to be tethered by a spring hooked into a small wire loop which seems to be soldered onto the circuit board. In the case at hand the wire loop pulls out of the board & the heat fin then flops around free & in 1 case the wire loop was rattling around on the card. Not good.
I'm trying to determine if this is a systemic problem or just a fluke. It seems like a design flaw, with the spring being too much for the soldered wire loop. Has anybody else seen this? If so, with how many cards & of what types? ________________________________________________________________________ Jay Ford, Network Engineering Group, Information Technology Services University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242 email: [email protected], phone: 319-335-5555, fax: 319-335-2951 _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
