Figure 4-15. Drive Fan Removal
NOTE: This is not a hot-pluggable procedure.
To replace a faulty fan in a drive fan assembly before storing the assembly for
future use, follow these steps:
1. Remove the faulty fan from the fan carrier by releasing the two
retention tabs that secure the fan in the carrier (see Figure 4-15),
and working the fan out of the carrier.
2. Remove the fan’s power cable from the carrier’s power harness
bundle.
3. Use the push fasteners that came with the new fan to install the
metal finger guard on the fan. Install the guard so that the fan’s
airflow arrow points toward the guard.
4. Connect the new fan’s cable to the carrier’s power harness
bundle.
5. Insert the new fan into the carrier under the two retention tabs.
