Troubleshooting a Wet Enclosure

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You

should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered
by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the
product.

1

Turn off the sleds and attached peripherals.

2

Disconnect the enclosure from the electrical outlet or the PDU.

CAUTION:

Wait until all of the indicators on the power supplies turn off before

proceeding.

3

Remove all sleds. See "Removing a Compute Sled" on page 192 or

"Removing a Storage Sled" on page 194.

4

Disassemble components from the sled. See the sled’s documentation for

more information.

5

Remove the fan modules. See "Removing a Fan Module" on page 207.

6

Remove the front panel board. See "Removing the Front Panel Board" on

page 209.

7

Remove the fan controller board. See "Removing the Fan Controller

Board" on page 211.

8

Let the enclosure dry thoroughly for at least 24 hours.

9

Reinstall the fan controller board. See "Installing the Fan Controller

Board" on page 212.

10

Reinstall the front panel board. See "Installing the Front Panel Board" on

page 210.

11

Reinstall the fan modules. See "Installing a Fan Module" on page 208.

12

Reinstall all sled components you removed in step 4.

13

Reinstall all sleds. See "Installing a Compute Sled" on page 194 or

"Installing a Storage Sled" on page 195.
