Removing a Fan Module
Warning
When removing the fan tray, keep your hands and fingers away from the
spinning fan blades. Let the fan blades completely stop before you remove the
fan tray.
Statement 258
To remove a fan module, follow these steps:
Step1 Loosen the two captive screws on the fan module by turning them
counterclockwise, using a flat-blade or no. 2 Phillips screwdriver if required.
Step2 Grasp the fan module with both hands and pull it outward; rock it gently, if
necessary, to unseat the power connector from the backplane.
Step3 Pull the fan module clear of the chassis.
Installing a Fan Module
To install a fan module, follow these steps:
Step1 Hold the fan module with the Fan Status LED at the top (see Figure2-14).
Step2 Place the fan module into the front chassis cavity so it rests on the chassis, lift the
fan module up slightly to align the top and bottom chassis guides, then push the
fan module into the chassis until it seats in the backplane and the captive screws
make contact with the chassis, and tighten the captive screws.
Step3 If the switch is powered on, listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them
operating. If you do not hear them, ensure that the fan module is inserted
completely in the chassis and the faceplate is flush with the outside surface of the
chassis.
Step4 Verify that the Fan Status LED is green.
If the LED is not green, one or more fans are faulty. If this happens, contact your
customer service representative for a replacement part.
