Replacing the FSX 1600 fan assemblies

Replacing the
FSX 1600
fan assemblies
NOTE
To replace the fan assemblies in the
FSX 1600
The
FSX 1600
has two fan assemblies, both accessible from the rear. Each assembly has a fan
which pulls warm air out of the chassis.
You can remove and replace a fan assembly while the
FSX 1600
chassis is powered on and
running.
To replace the fan tray, you need the following:
•
A new fan assembly, which you can order from Brocade
•
An ESD strap (provided with the fan assembly kit) or an ESD wrist strap with a plug for
connection to the ESD connector on the chassis.
•
In addition to the above, you might also need a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 meg ohm resistor.
To replace a fan assembly, perform the following tasks.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector
located in the top right corner of the chassis front.
2. Using the flathead screwdriver, loosen the four captive screws that secure the fan (marked
“Fan A” or “Fan B”) to the chassis rear.
