84 CHAPTER 6: SWITCH MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE
c
CAUTION: When you replace the fan tray of an operating switch, pull the fan tray
out from the chassis only after the fans stop rotating. In this case, there is still the
possibility that fans are still rotating. Therefore do not put your hand into the fan
tray to avoid bodily injury.
Step 2: Gently pull the fan tray out of the slot along the guides.
Step 3: Put the removed fan tray into the packing bag.
Step 4: Hold the handle of the fan tray with one hand and its bottom with the
other and pull them outward. Align the fan tray with the guides in the chassis and
slide it gently into the slot until its positioning pin touches the positioning hole in
the chassis.
Step 5: Screw on the captive screws on both sides of the fan tray.
c
CAUTION: Install a new fan tray soon after removing the old one to ensure the
normal working of the Switch.
