Dell EqualLogic FS7610 Hardware Owner's Manual

Replacing a Cooling Fan

The FS7610 NAS appliance contains six hot-swappable cooling fans. If one fan fails, you can replace it while
the appliance remains online. To maintain proper cooling while the system is on, replace only one fan at a time.
The procedure for replacing each fan is identical.
In the event of a problem with a particular fan, the fan number is referenced by the system's management
software. Identify and replace the proper fan by referencing the fan numbers on the inside of the cooling fan
access door.
Many repairs require a Dell-certified service technician. You should perform troubleshooting and simple
repairs only as authorized in your product documentation or as directed by the online or telephone service
and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty.
Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
