Hi all,
We just acquired “the flagship that Mikrotik has develop until now”. Just after turning this CCR on, the first thing we are having is “the fault light on”. I am worried this is a 3,000 USD router and since the beginning I am having issues ;(. Can some tell me if this normal? (I don’t think so). I have observed that the back fans are not working or do they work when necessary, with some sort of temperature sensor?
I would really appreciate any given help or advice.
Thank you before hand.
Check if one of the fans has not stopped. This could trigger the fault as well
Hi Normis,
As per: “Check if one of the fans has not stopped”, liked I said before, they are all stopped on the back, the ones that are attached to the back side of the chassis. Is is normal? or do they work with temperature sensors?. Anyways, I will open it and check what is happening and will post pictures - but this is very disappointing 
(
Thank you.
Sorry, I missed that part. Yes, at least some fan needs to be spinning. This is not normal
maybe a faulty device
is perfectly statistically normal
some years ago i received a 10.000 US device from another vendor and it was faulty, vendor toke 30 days to replace the unit
today is not your lucky day
because that in a project we have to do planning taking in count this kind of possible drawbacks
Ok so this is my story. I had to travel from Managua to MIA to buy this unit because of gov. educational customer (VIP) - we are up-dating their network as fast as we can. So now, I am back in MIA to exchange this faulty stuff for a new one. On one hand, before leaving Mikrotik’s authorize dealer, I had to power on the unit and this time the fault light is not on anymore.
Mr. Normis, the fans on the back don’t move at all, I believe this only works when temperature demands it? can you please verify that before going back to Central America with this unit.
Thanks.
I have acquire several S-RJ01 for this CCR1072, electrical SFP (ethernet) and I am not able to see the unit thru winbox connecting my computer directly to the S-RJ01 port. Why is this happening?
compatibility of CCR1072 with S-RJ01 SFP modules ADDED on RouterOS RELEASE CANDIDATE 6.34
btw, do current ROS firmware (ROS itself and preferably on bootloader-level too)support CCR fan failure detection and gracefully shutdown ? do there was thermal throttling that allow CCR remain operational/accesible even with COMPLETE fans failure, but with Severe underperformance(due to harsh/safe underclocking and throttling) ? if not - whould be nice to implement this atleast partially.
This product is not ready for sale!
Between this and the post of random SPF+ ports not working or just dying we are seriously reconsidering whether or not we want to invest in these units. It definitely doesn’t instill confidence in the product.
It’s been over two weeks and MikroTik do not want to replace equipment RMA140122885.
It’s a shame that even MikroTik don’t know what is the problem and hide behind the MikroTik RMA policy ;(
its a shame, looks like new devices are not suitable for critical environments.
is not only a mikrotik problem, is a very competitive market and vendors are in a hurry to release devices and get profits, because that testing schedules are trimmed to accelerate show time.
