Page 39: Installing A Fan Module
Caution The Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switches have internal temperature sensors that can shut down the system if the temperature within the chassis exceed certain safety thresholds. To accurately monitor the system temperature, the temperature sensors require sufficient airflow through the chassis. In the event that a fan module is removed from the chassis and the airflow is reduced, the system will bypass the temperature sensor information and shut down after five minutes to prevent undetected overheating. - Page 40 Holding the handle, pull the module out of the chassis. Caution Do not touch the electrical connectors on the back side of the module and prevent anything else from coming into contact with and damaging the connectors.
