Replacing a failed hot-swap cooling fan

Attention:
ventilation and cooling. Improper ventilation might cause damage to the internal
components and circuitry.
The fans are interchangeable and replaceable and do not require preventive
maintenance. The fans help maintain proper air circulation across the components
inside the storage expansion enclosure. Air flows through the storage expansion
enclosure from the front to the back.
You can hot-swap the fans (replace them while the storage expansion enclosure is
turned on and running), provided that you complete the exchange within 10
minutes. This time limit applies only to the total time that a fan is out of the storage
expansion enclosure, beginning when you remove the failed unit and ending when
you reseat the new one. This does not include the time it takes you to perform this
entire procedure (checking LEDs, unpacking the new fan, and so on).

cooling.
Complete the following steps to replace a hot-swap fan:
1. Check the LEDs on the back of the storage expansion enclosure.
