5–Customer Replaceable Units Replacing Fan Blades

Replacing Fan Blades

You can remove or install one of the Fan blades while the switch is operating without disrupting service. The Fan blades are also interchangeable; that is, a Fan blade will fit in any bay. Fan blades can have front-to-back or back-to-front air flow; however both Fan blades and Power Supply blades must have the same air flow direction.

WARNING!!

Voltage is present in an open bay when the switch is operating. To avoid personal injury, do not place hands or objects into an open bay.

AVERTISSEMENT!!

Lorsque le commutateur est en marche, la baie ouverte est sous tension. Pour éviter toute blessure personnelle, ne pas placer les mains ou des objets dans une baie ouverte.

WARNUNG!!In einem offenen Gestell ist Spannung vorhanden, wenn der Switch in Betrieb ist. Zur Vermeidung von Verletzung weder die Finger noch irgendwelche Objekte in ein offenes Gestell einführen.

¡ADVERTENCIA!

Cuando el conmutador funciona, hay tensión eléctrica en los compartimentos abiertos. Para evitar lesiones personales, no ponga las manos ni ningún objeto en un compartimento abierto.

CAUTION!

Always use an ESD wrist strap when removing and installing a Fan blade. Keep the Fan blade in an ESD protective container or anti-static bag when not in use.

Replacement Fan blades must be compatible with the air flow direction of the other Fan blade and Power Supply blades. Installing a Fan blade with an opposing air flow direction could lead to overheating.

To avoid overheating, do not operate the switch with an empty Fan blade slot any longer than it takes to install a new Fan blade.
