Installing the BCM200 cooling fan

Use this procedure to install a cooling fan in a BCM200 main unit.

Warning: Protect the hardware components against damage from electrostatic discharge. Always wear a grounded wrist strap before you handle components. Always place the components in a static-free container.

To install a BCM200 cooling fan

1Place the new fan in proper location in the BCM200 main unit. Ensure the I/O card connector cable is on the bottom.

Note: Ensure the label of the new fan faces the back wall of the BCM main unit. Airflow is out of the chassis as indicated by the arrows imprinted on the fan.

2Align the fan chassis mounting holes with the holes on the main unit.

3Attach the fan to the main unit using four snap rivets:

a Hold the fan in place and push the rivet collar through the fan access panel and fan chassis mounting holes.

b Insert the rivet pin into the rivet collar (see Figure 186).
