Removing and Installing a Fan Assembly
If a fan fails, the fan assembly should be replaced at the earliest opportunity. Each matrix
has a number of fans:
•
FOX3 Matrix 24x has 2 fans
•
FOX3 Matrix 160x has 6 fans
•
FOX3 Matrix 40x has 4 fans
•
FOX3 Matrix 320x has 9 fans
•
FOX3 Matrix 80x has 3 fans
NOTES:
•
The fan modules are hot-swappable. They can be removed or installed without
powering down the switcher.
•
The diagram shows the 40x frame, which is similar in function to all matrix frames.
Remove and replace a fan module as follows:
1.
Rotate the top and bottom captive panel screws to completely loosen the screws
(see figure 40).
