2.4.9 Extracting and Inserting the Fan Unit
The gateway can run on three of the four fans at an ambient temperature of 45
o
C or less indefi-
nitely.
There are two possible air flows for the fan unit. The air flow depends on the gateway model. An R
in the model number indicates a connector (IB/ETH) side to power side air flow. See See “Part
Numbering Legend” on page 9. for an explanation of the model numbers and labels.
To extract a Fan Unit:
Fan Module Latches
Figure 24: Fan Unit Pulled Out
1.
Using two hands, push both latch releases in simultaneously while pulling the fan module
out of the gateway. As the fan unseats, the fan status indicator will turn off.
2.
Pull the fan unit out.
Operation without a fan unit should not exceed one minute.
During fan hot-swap, if the LED indicators are OFF, then the fan unit is disconnected.
Make sure that the fans have the air flow that matches the power units. An air flow
opposite to the PSUs will cause the gateway to operate at a higher (less than optimal)
temperature.
