Best Practice: Turn off the appliance as soon as possible to avoid overheating. The
remaining fans might not be able to maintain the appropriate
environmental temperature.
To replace a failed fan module:
1. If the appliance is not turned off, perform a graceful shutdown by pressing the
power button on the front of the chassis. Because the appliance does not
provide feedback of a graceful shutdown, wait until the power LED is no
longer illuminated.
2. Unplug all power cords.
3. Unscrew the thumbscrews on the fan module.
4.
Remove the fan module, as illustrated in Figure 21 or Figure 22.
Attention: Ensure that the gold connectors at the rear of the module do not
come into contact with your hands or with the packing material as you unpack
the replacement module. Avoid damaging the gold connectors against the
chassis as you insert the replacement module.
5.
Unpack the replacement module.
