Removing and Installing the Fan Asssembly

The four fans on the fan assembly door are paired; two primary fans in one assembly and two redundant fans in another assembly (figure 6-3). The two fans in the primary fan assembly share a common power connector and the two fans in the redundant fan assembly share a separate connector. The power cord for the primary fan assembly is sheathed in red, the power cord for the redundant fan assembly is sheathed in black. Fans are replaced two at a time (primary or redundant fan assembly pair).
