Replacing a controller fan module
This section provides procedures for replacing a failed controller fan module. Illustrations in controller fan replacement
procedures show top panel views of the enclosure, with the fan properly oriented for insertion into the top panel of the
enclosure, near the IOMs. Remove the auxiliary bay cover

to access the controller module fan. See
Reattach auxiliary bay cover

when you complete the procedure.
If a controller channel fan fails, the remaining fan is sufficient to maintain operation of the enclosure. You need not halt
operations and completely power-off the enclosure when replacing only one controller module fan.
CAUTION:
Do not remove the cover from the controller fan module due to danger from electric shock inside. Return
the module to your supplier for repair.
