Sun Fire V60x Server Fan Module Removal

The fan assembly is a single component (see Figure 5-32). The individual fans that
make up the assembly are not replaceable. Should a fan fail, the entire module will
need to be replaced. A tab on the side of the fan module makes replacement of the
module tool-less and very simple. The fan module is not hot swappable. The server
must be turned off before the fan module can be replaced.
Before removing the cover to work inside the system, observe the safety guidelines
previously given.
To replace the fan module, remove the cover and refer to Figure 5-32 when following
these steps:
1. Remove the clear plastic processor air duct.
2. Remove the blue plastic air baffle.
3. Unplug the fan cable from the server board.
4. At the left end of the module, press the release tab.
5. While continuing to press the release tab, lift the left side of the fan module and
slide it slightly left to free the "L" shaped foot at the right side of the fan module.
6. Remove the fan module from the chassis.
