Replacing the Fan Tray

CAUTION

Be sure that both hands are used to support the weight of the fan tray during removal.

NOTE

Leave the ESD-preventive wrist strap permanently connected to the switch so that it is always available when you need to touch ESD-sensitive components.

Installing the Replacement BlackDiamond 8800 Series Fan Tray

To install a replacement fan tray into the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch:

1Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the metal end to the ground receptacle on the top left corner of the switch.

2Support the bottom of the fan tray with one hand as you lift the fan tray by the handle using the other hand. Align the spare fan tray with the fan tray slot on the switch, and then slide the fan tray into place in the switch (see Figure 93 and Figure 94).

CAUTION

Always use both hands to support the weight of the fan tray during installation.
