How to Replace the Front Fan Modules in a Sun Blade 6000 system.

- WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE
RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?:
A front fan module is located within each of the power supply modules, so you must remove the power supply associated with the fan module before replacing the module.

The Power Supply can be removed and the Fan Modules replaced from a powered-off system or from a powered-on system using a hot-swap procedure.

How to remove a Front Fan Module

Note - You must replace the power supply that you removed within one minute in order to ensure proper system operation.

1. In the front of the chassis, locate the power supply to be removed.
The amber Fan Service LED on the Power Supply will be ON.
2. Press and hold the green button on top of the power supply handle frame.
Rotate the power supply handle down and away from the power supply.
Pull the power supply out of the system far enough to access the fan.
You do not need to remove it completely from the system.

Caution - The fan continues spinning for a moment after the power supply is disconnected. Be careful not to insert a finger or other object into the fan while it is still spinning.

3. With one hand, squeeze together the two latches on top of the fan module and pull the module upward.
4. Grasp the module with the other hand as soon as possible.

How to install a Front Fan Module

1. Insert the new fan module into the front of the power supply.
2. In a smooth motion, slide the power supply into the power supply slot until the unit engages with the internal connectors.
3. Push the power supply handle back toward the power supply until it clicks into place.
