Before you begin
• Read
Guidelines for Removing and Installing a Fan Tray, on page 1
• Enable the service mode on the chassis, if you are performing this task in a system that is powered on.
• Ensure that you have the following tools and accessories available:
• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Anti-static mat
Procedure
Step 1
Keep the replacement fan tray ready by removing it from the shipping packaging. Place it on an anti-static
mat and within arm's reach. Do not detach the connector module.
When you remove and replace the fan tray in a system that is powered on, there is a time constraint.
The system can safely run without a fan tray only for 2 minutes. So it is important to complete this
first step before you remove the fan tray from the rear of the chassis.
