Solution

the issue might be caused by either FAN-tray hardware failure or the system failed to detect the fan-tray.
 
1. check LCMD and chassisD are running and CPU usage is NOT high.
2: reboot the router to check if the issue persists. 
3: create a JTAC case and JTAC engineer will help to determine if an RMA is required.

-----------------------------------------------------

in the following example, the lcmd and chassis look fine and CPU idle is 60%, please contact JTAC for further assistance.
