1. Disconnect all Ethernet interface cables from the failed fan and communications

module. The locations of the ports are shown in the following figure.

2. Use Figure 43 as a guide and perform the following steps to remove the failed

fan and communications module from the FAStT900 Storage Server.

a. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the two captive screws on the fan and

communications module.

b. Use the pull handle to slide the module out of the slot a few inches.

c. Grasp the sides of the module with both hands and remove it from the

FAStT900 Storage Server.
