Attention: Possible equipment damage due to overheating – If the shelf is powered on, do
not remove both fans at the same time. Otherwise, the equipment might overheat.
10. Disconnect the left cable chain from its vertical guide rail:
a. Using a flashlight, locate the orange ring on the end of the cable chain attached to the vertical
guide rail.
b. To unlatch the cable chain, insert your finger into the orange ring.
c. To unplug the cable chain, pull toward you approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm). Leave the cable
chain connector within the vertical guide rail.
Attention: Possible hardware damage — If the drive tray is powered on, the cable chain is
energized until both ends are unplugged. To avoid shorting out the equipment, do not allow
the unplugged cable chain connector to touch the metal chassis if the other end of the cable
chain is still plugged in.
11.
Disconnect the left cable chain from the horizontal guide rail, and pull the entire cable chain out
of the drive shelf.
If you are performing this procedure with the power on, all LEDs turn off when you disconnect
the last cable chain connector, including the amber Attention LED.
12. Replace the left fan canister. If the drive shelf is receiving power, confirm that the amber LED on
the back of the fan is not illuminated and that air is coming out the back of the fan.
The LED could remain on for as long as a minute after you reinstall the fan while both fans settle
into the correct speed.
