Changing Fan Modules
The Infoblox-2000-A ships with three hot-swappable fan modules, so you can replace a fan module without
interrupting appliance operations. Each fan has an air vent that allows warm air to flow out of the appliance.
If a fan stops operating due to removal or a failure, the appliance continues to run, but generates an SNMP trap. You
can also monitor the status of the fan modules by logging in to the Infoblox GUI, and from the Grid Perspective,
select the appliance and click
