Replacing a Fan Tray
The fan tray is designed to be removed and replaced while the system is operating without causing an electrical hazard or damage to the system if the replacement is performed within one minute.
If you do not have the appropriate replacement fan tray, leave the original fan tray in its slot to preserve the designed airflow for the switch until you have the replacement fan module.
Caution |
The fans might still be turning when you remove the fan assembly from the chassis. Keep fingers, screwdrivers, and other objects away from the openings in the fan assembly's housing. |
To replace a fan tray, follow these steps:
Before you begin
-
Verify that you have an ESD wrist strap or other device to prevent ESD damage for components that you touch.

Verify that you have an antistatic surface or bag for placing the fan module that you remove from the chassis.
