2.1.6 Hot-Swappable 80-mm Fan
The RES-21XR3 for X8SAX contains three (3) high-speed 80-mm fans, each of
which can be “hot-swapped” in the field in the event of a failure.
2.1.6.1 Removing and Installing a 80-mm Fan
Perform the following steps to remove and install a 80-mm fan:
1. On the top cover of the chassis, push the fan lid lock left to unlock the fan lid
(see
Figure 2-11 on page 2-14). Pull the fan lid upward, exposing the three 80-
mm fans.
2. Each fan is secured by a locking latch on the left hand side. To remove a fan,
press the latch lock toward the center of the fan with the left hand index finger
With the right hand-index finger (or left-hand thumb), press on the right-
hand side of the fan and pull the fan directly upward from the RES-21XR3
chassis.
3. When the fan is removed, its 4-wire connector will automatically disconnect
from the chassis. Insert the replacement fan carefully into the empty fan slot
until it is flush with the other fans. The 4-wire connector will automatically
engage its counterpart connector successfully.
Note: Since RES-21XR3 fans are “hot-swappable”, it is not necessary to turn off
system power in order to remove and replace a fan,
