The Dell PowerConnect W-7200 Series controller is equipped with a field-replaceable, hot-swappable fan tray.
Each fan tray features four individual fans that pull air through the chassis from the front and sides through to
the rear. Each fan tray can tolerate the failure of a single fan while maintaining a safe operating temperature for
the controller.
Hot Swapping
Hot swapping allows you to replace a failed fan tray, making it unnecessary to shut down the W-7200 Series
controller during the replacement procedure.

Installing and Removing a Fan Tray
The fan tray is field-replaceable and hot-swappable. Hot-swapping allows you to replace the fan tray without
having to power down the W-7200 Series controller.
1. Remove the old fan tray.
a. Using a Phillips Head screwdriver, turn the hinged captive screws counter-clockwise until loose (they
cannot be removed completely).
b. Firmly grasp both of the hinged captive screws and pull the spring loaded hinge down until you are sure
the hinges are disengaged. Use the fan tray handle to pull the fan out.
