5 Push the fan until its positioning pin touches the hole in the chassis.
6 Push the ejector levers inward.

WARNING: To avoid injury, do not touch any naked wire, terminal, or any other
part of the product labelled Dangerous Voltage. Always wear the antistatic wrist
strap when installing the fan.

The console cable is an 8-core shielded cable. One end of the cable has a crimped
RJ-45 connector, which is plugged into the console port of the switch. The other
end has both a DB-9-hole connector and a DB-25-hole connector for connection
to a 9-hole or 25-hole serial port at the configuration terminal.
