Replacing a fan
Caution: Storage system fans rotate at high speed. Exercise extreme caution
to avoid getting anything caught in the fan and to prevent injury.
Caution: A short-circuit can cause a fire. Never insert metal or other objects
into the cable connector; otherwise, a short-circuit can occur.
Before you begin
• Wear a wrist strap connected to the storage system to prevent part
failures caused by static electricity. Do not remove the wrist strap until you
finish the procedure.
• Confirm that a fan is installed in the controller.
• Confirm that the storage system power is turned on.
• Confirm that the amber CTL WARN LED is blinking one or two times rapidly
(one blink = replace fan 0, two blinks = replace fan 1).
• Use the maintenance utility to block the controller.
Note:
Storage system fans rotate at high speed. Exercise extreme caution to
avoid getting anything caught in the fan and to prevent injury.
