Power Supply/Cooling Fan Module, 204 | Dell MD3200, MD3220 guide

Power Supply/Cooling Fan Module

The array supports two hot-swappable power supply/cooling fan modules. While the array can operate temporarily with one module, both the modules must be present for proper system cooling.

CAUTION: A single power supply/cooling fan module can be removed from a powered-on array for a maximum period of five minutes. Beyond that time, the array may automatically shut down to prevent damage.

Removing a Power Supply/Cooling Fan Module

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.

NOTE: If you remove a fully functioning power supply/cooling fan module, the fan speed in the remaining module increases significantly to provide adequate cooling. The fan speed decreases gradually when a new power supply/cooling fan module is installed.

1Turn off the power supply/cooling fan module.

2Disconnect the power cable from the power source.

3Remove the Velcro straps that secure the power cable and then disconnect the power cable from the power supply/cooling fan module.

WARNING: The power supply/cooling fan modules are heavy. Use both hands while removing the module.

4Press the release tab and pull the power supply out of the chassis.
