Both fans failing simultaneously in the controller fan canister is unlikely. Such a failure
would cause either one or both controllers to overheat. Under these circumstances, the
amber controller indicator on the front may turn on. Shut down the controller enclosure
immediately and let the unit cool to room temperature and replace the controller fan.
You can hot swap the controller fan canister, replacing it while the controller enclosure is
in operation, as long as you complete the exchange within 15 minutes. The time limit
only applies to the total time that the fan canister is out of the chassis. The time begins
when you remove the failed canister and ends when you re-seat the new one. This does
not include the time it takes you to perform the entire procedure (for example, checking
indicators).
