Re: Need a replacement fan
said by aryoba  :If you have current Smartnet contract on that router, you can have hardware replacement for free  If you don't have such contract, try to get one from local authorized Cisco reseller. But they get the parts from some where. There has to be a site out there (I couldn't find any though) that has replacement parts. |

For Cisco company itself, they have warehouses by major airports that store hardware replacements (at least in the US). Everytime a customer needs hardware replacement of any kind, there will be delivery guy (either the non-technical one from shipping courier like FedEx or the technical one from Cisco themselves) to bring in the replacement from one of those warehouses to the customer premise.
As for Cisco resellers, they may have their own independent warehouses to store hardware replacements. Those hardware replacements come from non-working devices such as your router to salvage. So yes, it is a common practice for these resellers to buy non-working used devices to resell as refurbished parts. |
