Replacing a DC power-fan controller in the DS3500
controller-drive enclosure
Before you start to replace the power-fan controller in the controller-drive
enclosure, gather anti-static protection and a replacement DC power-fan controller.
Attention: Possible equipment damage – You must replace the power-fan
controller within three minutes after removing the failed power-fan controller to
prevent the possibility of overheating the equipment.
You can determine whether you have a failed power-fan controller in two ways:
v The Recovery Guru directs you to replace a failed power-fan controller.
v You locate the failed power-fan controller by checking the Power-Fan Service
Action Required LED.
Attention: Possible hardware damage – To prevent electrostatic discharge damage
to the enclosure, use proper anti-static protection when handling enclosure
components.
1. If possible, use the storage management software to create, save, and print a
new storage subsystem profile.
2. Did the Recovery Guru direct you to replace a failed power-fan controller?
v Yes – Go to step 3.
v No – Run the Recovery Guru to identify the failed component, and go to
step 3.
3. Put on anti-static protection.
4. Unpack the new power-fan controller.
a. Set the new power-fan controller on a flat, anti-static surface near the
controller-drive enclosure.
b. Save all the packing materials in case you need to return the power-fan
controller.
5. Ensure that the Power switch on the new power-fan controller is turned off.
6. Check the Power-Fan Service Action Required LEDs on the controller-drive
enclosures to locate the failed power-fan controller.
CAUTION:
Risk of electrical shock – Before removing or installing a power supply,
turn off the power switch, and unplug the power cord.
