Replacing the chassis fan subassembly

About replacing chassis fan subassemblies

Replacing a chassis fan subassembly consists of the following procedures:

There are three chassis fan subassemblies on your gateway. Each chassis fan subassembly has two fans. The chassis fans are secured to the front of the chassis.

Note
To maintain UL, CSA, and TUV safety certifications, you must obtain replacement chassis fan subassemblies from your authorized reseller. Using unapproved replacement chassis fans voids the safety certifications.

Location of chassis fan subassemblies

The chassis fan subassemblies are behind the front bezel. The following figure shows the chassis fan subassembly locations with the front bezel removed. The sheet metal above the chassis fan subassemblies is silk-screened with the labels Fans 1-2, Fans 3-4, and Fans 5-6.

Removing a chassis fan subassembly

To remove a chassis fan subassembly, complete the following steps.

Note
Because the three fan subassemblies are hot-swappable, there is no need to shut down your gateway.

Step	Action
1	From the console, note the identification of the fan subassembly that failed.
2	Pull the bezel straight off the front panel of your gateway by using the grooves on the left and right edges of the bezel.
3	Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the thumbscrews on the chassis fan subassembly that failed.
4	Using the handle, pull the chassis fan subassembly straight out of the gateway chassis. WARNING Use caution when servicing components in the chassis. There is danger of electric shock from hazardous energy on the backplane. Note If your gateway is running Data ONTAP software, it reports a failure for the removed fan assembly.
5	Set the chassis fan subassembly aside.
