can contact OSS Support for instructions and costs on shipping the chassis back for cleaning.
Finally, clean the air filter following the instructions later in this chapter. When finished, replace the cover and turn on power to the system.
5.2 Fan replacement
The EB7-x8G2-RAS chassis was designed to allow “hot-swappable” fan replacement while the chassis is powered on. First you will need to
remove the chassis’ lid as shown in the beginning of
Chapter 4
. Then locate the fan that has failed, unlock its thumbscrew, lift up its metal tab
and pull it out.
Insert the new fan in and secure it in place. Verify the new fan is spinning and restore the chassis lid.
