Replacing a Fan
A fan failure is indicated by the LCD panel message “Fan x failure”, where x refers to Fan 1 or
Fan 2. An audible alert also sounds.
Fans are hot swappable, which means that they can be inserted and removed while the disk array
is powered on and operating. Follow these instructions to replace a failed fan.
1 Identify the fan that has failed.
2 Loosen the fan enclosure thumbscrew, then open the fan enclosure to a 90º angle.
Note
Turn off the audible alert by pressing the Up and Down function but-
tons on the front panel twice simultaneously.
Caution
High speed rotating fan blades can cause injury. Wait until the fan has
stopped completely before removing it.
