Fan Assembly Task Guide
This section addresses the steps for installing or replacing fan assemblies when the chassis is running (hot-swap) or must
be powered off (cold-swap). References are provided for more details on removal and installation steps.
NOTE
•
Each fan assembly contains two fans for a total of four fans for two installed fan assemblies. The chassis
requires three fans out of four functioning fans for operation. If hot-swapping a fan assembly, be sure to have
the replacement fan assembly ready to install before removing a faulty fan assembly, and replace it as soon
as possible.
•
If a fan assembly has failed, do not remove it from the chassis unless an FRU is available for replacement. If
the slot is left empty for an extended time period, chassis air leakage and overheating can occur.
•
Make sure that captive screws that secure fan assemblies to the chassis are tightened. If the screws are not
tightened, high pressure from fan operation may unseat the fan from chassis connectors.
Replacing a Fan Assembly (Hot-Swap)
NOTE
The fans must be in the same direction as before.
If your chassis is up and running, but a fan assembly has failed, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the fan assembly.
2. Insert the new fan assembly into the empty slot as soon as possible, and securely tighten the captive screw.
3. Verify that the fan assembly status LED is green.
Replacing a Fan Assembly (Cold-Swap)
If your chassis is up and running, but you want to power down the chassis to replace a failed fan assembly, complete the
following steps:
1. Shut down the system using the
sysShutdown
command.
2. Unplug the power cords from the receptacles on all power supply assemblies.
3. Loosen the captive screw and remove the faulty fan assembly.
4. Insert the new fan assembly and securely tighten the captive screw.
5. Plug the power cords into all power supply assemblies from the power sources to power on the chassis.
6. Verify that the fan assembly status LEDs are green.
