Figure 6-2. Fan Tray
Install the fan trays after the chassis is installed securely in the equipment rack. Access the fan tray slots
from the rear side of the chassis. To ensure proper temperature and airflow control, all six fan trays must
be installed before you supply power to the system. You will need a #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the
screws that secure the fan trays to the chassis. A fan tray can be installed in any fan tray slot.
To install fan trays:
WARNING: Table 6-1 is an illustration of the fan tray safety labels: Prevent exposure and contact with
hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to operate this system without the safety cover provided with each PEM.
Step Task
1 Unpack the fan tray.
2 Prior to inserting a fan tray, fully turn its screw latch counter-clockwise (with flathead screwdriver) until the fan
tray latching mechanism fully retracts into the fan tray (see Figure 6-2 ).
3 Grip the fan tray handle. Slide the connector end of each fan tray into the slot until it stops and the handle end is
flush with the chassis rear.
4 Secure the fan trays into place by turning the screw latch clockwise.
