Servicing the Input/Output Board Side Components |
This chapter describes how to remove and replace the system input/output (I/O) board and components on the I/O side of the system. For a list of part numbers for field-replaceable units (FRUs) and optional equipment, see Illustrated Parts Breakdown.
The following tasks are covered in this chapter:
All fan trays feature a hot-swap capability. You can remove and replace a faulty fan tray without shutting down the operating system or turning off the system power. However, at least one working I/O fan tray must be present in order to provide proper system cooling. For additional details, see About Hot-Pluggable and Hot-Swappable Components. For more information about I/O fan trays, see About Fan Trays.
If you are not performing a hot-swap procedure, complete the following task:
1. Identify the fan tray that you want to remove.
The primary I/O fan tray is in slot 3. For information about I/O fan tray LEDs, see About Fan Tray LEDs.
2. Loosen the two captive Phillips screws securing the fan tray to the brackets.
3. Slide the fan tray out from the brackets.
|
Caution - If you are performing a hot-swap procedure, do not put your hand into the empty fan bay. The fans in the populated fan tray are spinning. |
