Overland Storage neo 2000 Remove & Replace Instructions

NEO
Card Cage Fan
Remove & Replace Instructions
IMPORTANT: Overland Storage requires that all NEO
Series parts be removed and replaced by an Overland
Storage authorized service provider. Improper installation may
result in damage which voids existing warranties.
The same type of cooling fan is located above each Card
Cage. Their downward airflow enhances cooling of the
optional expansion cards when installed.
This document describes how to remove and replace a
Card Cage cooling fan in a NEO 2000 or NEO 4000 library
from Overland Storage.
NOTE: The replacement fan is a few thousands of an inch
thicker than the one it replaces in the Lower Card Cage so that
the included flat-head screws MUST BE USED to install it.

Replacing the Upper Fan (NEO 2000/4000)

Remove the Old Fan
1. Remove and retain the 11 screws that secure the cover
to the library.
2. Lift the cover slightly and move it toward the front
about 1/2 inch (12cm).

connector from the fan to the card cage backplane.
