Replacing the 4/32B SAN Switch Power Supply/Fan Assembly Unit

Read this section for Power Supply/Fan Assembly Unit replacement procedures.

The 4/32B SAN Switch fans are fixed inside the integrated power supply/fan FRU to provide necessary airflow to cool the whole system. There is one fan located in the rear section of each FRU. The system software sets fan speed and measures their speeds through the tachometer interface.

The two power supply/fan assembly FRU units are hot-swappable if replaced one at a time. They are identical and fit into either slot. Fabric OS identifies the power supplies from left to right on the port side as PS1 (on the left) and PS2 (on the right).

The Fabric OS identifies the Power Supplies as follows (viewing the switch from the port side):

•PS1 on the left

•PS2 on the right
