Sun Enterprise 6500/5500/4500 Systems Reference Manual

Replacing the Fan Tray Assembly

  1. Carefully insert the fan tray assembly into the slot on the left side of the Enterprise system.

    Viewed from the rear of the system, the fan tray is on the left side of the enclosure. See Figure E-14.

  2. Ensure that the extraction lever is in the outward position as you slide the fan tray assembly toward the centerplane.

    The fan tray assembly will not seat fully unless the lever is in this starting position.


    Caution - Caution -

    DO NOT FORCE the fan tray assembly into the slot; this can cause damage to the fan tray assembly and system.


    The fan tray assembly should insert and seat smoothly. If it binds, remove it, and inspect the slot for any obvious obstructions. Do not damage the springfingers at the bottom of the fan tray assembly.

  3. Use the extraction lever to seat the fan tray assembly.

    Swing the lever inwards to the locked position. Do not press on the fan tray assembly to seat it; doing so will damage the connector pins.

  4. Tighten the two captive screws to secure the fan tray in place.

  5. Connect the power cord and tighten the cable restrainer.

  6. Power on the Enterprise system.

    See the power on instructions in Chapter 11, Powering Off and On .
