Hot-Swapping A System Fan Assembly - MAXDATA PLATINUM 7200 IR M6 User Manual

Hot-swapping a System Fan Assembly

Two cooling fan assemblies are located at the front of the chassis. Each assembly contains two fans.
You cannot replace the individual fans within the assembly, but you can replace each fan assembly.
You can replace a failed cooling fan assembly without turning off the power to the server only if the
remaining fan in the assembly is fully operational. Each fan assembly uses an amber LED to indicate a
failed fan condition. If the amber LED is on, the fan assembly needs to be replaced. The LED remains
off during normal operation.
CAUTION
System cooling is reduced during the fan replacement process. Do not leave a system fan removed
for longer than two minutes.
Do not touch the fan blades while they are turning.
1. Observe the safety, ESD, and other precautions described in "Safety Information."
2. Locate the fan assembly you are replacing. If a fan in the assembly has failed, the amber LED
will be lit. See letter "A" in Figure 11.
3. Press the green button on the front of the fan assembly to release the handle. See letter "B"
in the figure.
4. Use the handle to pull the fan from the system. See letter "C" in the figure.
5. Open the handle on the replacement fan assembly.
6. Slide the replacement fan into the fan bay.
7. Push the handle closed until it clicks into place.
