Biamp Nexia Series Manual

Replacing the fan on a Nexia

This article explains how to replace a fan in a Nexia product. The Nexia has a single fan located on the right side of the

chassis (when viewed from the front). The fan should be replaced if it makes excessive noise (especially grinding or

groaning noises) or if it doesn't spin at all when the unit is powered on.

Replacement fans can be obtained from Biamp Systems, either as a warranty item or a spare part order. However, there

are several different fans available, depending on when the Nexia was manufactured. Please take note of the serial

number of the Nexia and call Biamp's Service department to ensure you receive the correct fan for your Nexia.

The following items are required to replace a Nexia fan:

• #1 Phillips screwdriver

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• Replacement Fan (call Biamp Service department for correct part number)

Follow the steps below to replace the fan. Click on any of the images to see a full-size view of the photo.

2. Remove the Nexia from its rack or enclosure, if necessary.

3. Remove the three #4 sheet metal screws on the front of the chassis.

4. Remove the four #4 sheet metal screws on the rear of the chassis.

Nexia fans are designed to exhaust air from the unit, so if the fan is sucking air into the unit, then either the fan was installed backwards or the fan cable was plugged into the board backwards.
