OPERATIONS NOTE
-100/-200/-300/-400/-500:
Verify that the operative fan is selected and the EQUIP COOLING OFF light is extinguished.
For EFIS equipped airplanes, if the EQUIP COOLING OFF light illuminates during flight (both supply fans or
both exhaust fans inoperative), continued flight beyond 90 minutes can result in loss of essential avionics.
-600/-700/-800/-900:
If the EQUIP COOLING SUPPLY OFF light illuminates during flight (both supply fans inoperative),
continued flight beyond 30 minutes can result in loss of the Captain’s Display Units and the lower center
Display Unit. If the EQUIP COOLING EXHAUST OFF light illuminates during flight (both exhaust fans
inoperative), continued flight beyond 30 minutes can result in loss of the First Officer’s Display Units and the
upper center Display Unit.

so ,you can change Displays using the selectors to the available ones.
