Caution - Operating a controller for an extended period of time with fans removed reduces the effectiveness of the cooling system and could damage the equipment. Therefore, this task needs to be done within a limited period of time. |
Fan modules are hot-swappable and can be removed and installed while the storage controller is running without affecting other hardware capabilities. Use the following procedure to replace a ZS5-4 fan module.
Before You Begin
Unpack the replacement fan module and get it ready to insert into the controller chassis as soon as the faulted fan is removed.
If you are not physically at the system, go to the Maintenance > Hardware section of the BUI, click the right-arrow icon for the controller, click Fan, and note the ID of the faulted fan module, which has an amber icon. To highlight the location of the fan module in the controller picture, click on the fan module ID. To view details about the faulted fan module, click its information icon and then click Active Problems.
If you are physically at the system, the amber Service Action Required indicator on the fan module should be lit.
Caution - Excessive movement or rocking of the fan module during removal can cause damage to the internal connector on the fan module board. When removing a fan module, do not rock it back and forth. |
The fan modules are keyed to ensure that they are installed in the correct orientation.
