There are two possible air flows for the fan unit. The air flow depends on the gateway model. See
“Air Flow” on page 24 for an explanation of the model numbers and labels.

the fan module out of the gateway. As the fan unseats, the fan status indicator will turn off.
2. Remove the fan unit.
Figure 33: Fan Module Latch
To insert a FAN Unit:
1. Make sure the mating connector of the new unit is free of any dirt and/or obstacles.
Operation without a fan unit should not exceed two minutes.
During fan hot-swap, if the LED indicator is OFF then the fan unit is disconnected.
Make sure that the fans have the air flow that matches the model number. An air flow
opposite to the
gateway
design will cause the
gateway
to operate at a higher (less
than optimal) temperature.
