You need the following items to replace a fan assembly in the Brocade ICX 6650 switch:

Replacing the fan assembly
Complete the following steps to replace a fan assembly in a Brocade ICX 6650 switch.
1. Using the Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the captive screw on the fan assembly.
2. Before opening the package that contains the new fan tray, touch the bag to the switch casing
to discharge any potential static electricity. It is recommended that you wear an ESD wrist strap
during installation.
3. Remove the fan tray from the anti-static shielded bag.
4. Ensure that the replacement fan assembly has the same part number and airflow label as the
fan assembly being replaced.
5. Remove the fan assembly from the chassis by pulling the handle on the fan assembly out and
away from the chassis.
6. Holding the fan tray level, guide it into the carrier rails on each side and gently push it all the
way into the slot, ensuring that it firmly engages with the connector.
7. When you are sure the fan tray has properly engaged the connector, tighten the retainer screws
to secure the fan tray in the slot.
CAUTION
Do not force the installation. If the fan assembly does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly
oriented before continuing.
NOTE
The fans are controlled automatically by the device.
