Replace a cooling module

Edit online

The process involves removing the existing module and inserting a new one.

Removing a cooling module

Important: Before you remove a module, make sure that you have a replacement module to insert.
  1. Identify the cooling module to be removed. If the module failed, the fan fault LED displays an amber color, as shown in the following figure.

Important: The cooling module bay must not be empty for more than 2 minutes while the enclosure is powered.

Inserting a cooling module

  1. Rotate the cooling module so that the black release latch and handle are on the right side.
  2. Slide the cooling module into its slot until the latch clicks home. The enclosure automatically detects and uses the new unit.
