Step 2
Unpack and place the replacement fan tray on the antistatic mat or antistatic foam.
Step 3
Loosen the two captive screws on the fan tray that you are replacing by turning them counterclockwise
until they are free of the chassis.
Step 4
Grasp the fan tray handle with one hand and pull it part way out of the chassis.
If the fan tray power connector does not easily unseat from the backplane, rock it gently.
Step 5
Place the other hand under the fan tray to support its weight, pull the fan tray completely out of the
chassis, and place the fan tray on an antistatic mat or repack it in its original packing materials.
Step 6
Make sure that the replacement fan tray is oriented so that the fans are on top and the fan status LED is
on the right when you are looking at the front side with the handle.
Step 7
Grasp the replacement fan tray handle with one hand and place the other hand beneath the fan tray to
support it, lift the fan tray to the open fan tray slot in the chassis, align the fan tray to the chassis guides,
and push the fan tray into the slot until the power connector seats in the backplane and the captive screws
are aligned to their holes in the chassis.
Step 8
Tighten the captive screws to 8 in-lb (0.9 N·m).
Step 9
Make sure that the STATUS LED turns on and is green.
