Fan Assemblies
The fan assembly units in the chassis can be removed and replaced without special tools. The device can continue
operating during the replacement.
The device supports the following types of fan assemblies with a nonport-side air intake. This unit moves the air from the
nonport side to the port side of the device.

Figure 43 shows the correct position to install and insert the fan assembly.
The device fans are fixed inside the fan assemblies to provide the necessary airflow to cool the whole system. Six fans
are located in each unit. The system software sets the speed and measures it through the tachometer interface.
Observe the following operational notes for fan assemblies in the device:
•
The six fan assemblies that are concurrently installed in the chassis must be of the same power type, model (airflow
direction), and part number.
•
The fan assembly units are hot-swappable and can be replaced one at a time. They are identical and install into any
fan slot.
•
The device can operate all the ports with one faulty fan assembly.
Precautions Specific to the Fan Assemblies
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the chassis and components, never attempt to lift the chassis using the fan or power
supply handles. These handles were not designed to support the weight of the chassis.
CAUTION
Carefully follow the mechanical guides on each side of the fan assembly slot and make sure that the fan
assembly is properly inserted in the guides. Never insert the fan assembly upside down.
NOTE
The equipment installation must meet NEC/CEC code requirements. Consult local authorities for regulations.
