Page 191 • No. 1 Phillips screwdriver Removing a fan assembly About this task Complete the following steps to remove a fan assembly from the chassis. Procedure 1. Before removing a fan assembly, refer to “Precautions specific to fan assemblies” on page 165 to verify whether you can remove the power supply and leave the chassis operating (hot-swap replacement).
Page 192 4. Push in on each captive screw and tighten with a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver to secure the fan assembly to the chassis. Note: Be sure that captive screws are tightened. If not, high pressure from fan operation may unseat fan from chassis connectors. 168 IBM Storage Networking SAN256B-7: SAN256B-7 Installation, Service, and User Guide...

Page 209 8. Verify that all components are functioning correctly by checking their LEDs. If the LEDs do not indicate correct operation, try reinstalling the corresponding component. Synchronizing airflow direction on WWN cards An airflow direction mismatch may occur if the airflow direction, nonport-side intake (NPI) or nonport- side exhaust (NPE), for installed fan and power supply assembly FRUs does not match the airflow direction set on the new WWN cards shipped with replacement chassis.
Page 210 The following example shows the mismatch of the system airflow and the airflow direction in the installed fan and the power supply. POWER SUPPLY Unit: 1 Power Source: Fan Direction: Non-portside Intake 186 IBM Storage Networking SAN256B-7: SAN256B-7 Installation, Service, and User Guide...
Page 211 Unit: 2 Fan Direction: Non-portside Intake Unit: 1 System AirFlow: Non-portside Exhaust Unit: 2 System AirFlow: Non-portside Exhaust The WWN units should indicate "Non-portside Intake." If there is a mismatch of airflow direction, RASlog messages will indicate a mismatch between the system airflow direction and the airflow direction of fan in power supply or fan assembly.
