Removing and installing a fan assembly for an EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure

Use the following precautions whenever you handle electronic components or cables:

• Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging your hardware.
• If you do not have a wrist strap, before removing the product from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
• Keep all electronic components in the shipping container or envelope until you are ready to install them.
• If you remove and reinstall an electronic component, temporarily place the component on an ESD pad or blanket, if available.

To remove and install a fan assembly, complete the following steps:

1. Use the service indicator light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to help identify the part. For instructions, see Identifying a part.
2. Remove the enclosure RAID module (ERM) assembly from the PCIe storage enclosure. For instructions, see Removing and installing an enclosure RAID module assembly for an EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure.
3. Remove the fan assembly from the ERM assembly:
   1. Place the ERM assembly on a flat surface.
   2. Press the release button (A), as shown in the following figure, to raise the fan assembly out of the ERM assembly.
   3. Grasp the fan assembly (B) and remove it from the ERM assembly.

4. Install the fan assembly:
   1. Insert the fan assembly into the ERM assembly until it stops.
   2. Install the ERM assembly into the PCIe storage enclosure. For instructions, see Removing and installing an enclosure RAID module assembly for an EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure.
