On MX240/480/960 routers if the fan tray is absent (due to it was removed or due to a hardware failure) the following alarm is generated:
user@router-re0> show system alarms Dec 10 19:04:26 1 alarm currently active Alarm time Class Description 2024-12-10 19:04:22 IST Minor Left Fan Tray Absent
However after the router reboot the alarm disappears. As a result, the state of the missing fan tray might be unnoticed.
The behavior has been fixed so the alarm regarding missing fan tray is present after the router reboot.
The fixed Junos release numbers can be obtained by contacting JTAC.
