Operation
Under normal conditions, the 6500 array requires minimal periodic maintenance. Preventive maintenance consists of periodically checking the operation of cooling fans and cleaning the enclosure’s air filter.
Periodically inspect the rear panel of the array enclosure to verify that the two enclosure cooling fans are operating properly. Make sure that both fans are spinning, and check for any unusual bearing noises.
If fan operation does not seem normal, first verify that the cooling fans are receiving DC power from the power supply.
If you need to replace one or both enclosure cooling fans, refer to the fan replacement procedures in this chapter.
Periodically check the internal fan on the array’s power supply to verify that it is operating properly.
