Removing and Replacing Parts
This chapter provides instructions for removing and replacing E600i components. It covers the following
topics:
• Removing and Replacing the Fan Tray
• Removing and Replacing Power Modules
• Removing and Replacing RPMs, Line Cards, or SFMs
• Removing and Replacing the Air Filter
When a component fails, the E600i system triggers major or minor alarm LEDs (located on the RPM),
sends events to the SNMP trap and show alarms table, disables or changes component Status LEDs or
triggers an audible alarm. Refer to
Appendix B, Alarms, on page 61
for more information on alarms.
Removing and Replacing the Fan Tray
In the event of a fan tray failure, recognized by an amber LED, an SNMP trap, or major alarm event, the
entire fan tray must be replaced. While you replace the fan tray, the E600i system will operate safely for
up to approximately 1 minute at an ambient temperature of 95° F (35° C). If one or more fans within a fan
tray fail, the system generates a minor alarm and an SNMP trap.
CAUTION: Replace the fan tray within 1 minute of removing it when chassis is running.
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage can occur when components are mishandled. Always
wear an ESD-preventative wrist or foot-heal ground strap when handling chassis components. After you
remove the original packaging, place chassis components on an antistatic surface.
The fan tray is hot-swappable. To remove and replace the fan tray, you must have access to the rear of the
chassis and be able to pull the fan tray completely out of the slot (at least 20 inches).
To remove and replace a fan tray:
Step Task
1 Unpack the new fan tray from its box.
NOTE: The fan tray weighs 20 lbs (9.072 kg).
2 Loosen the captive screws on the fan tray in the E600i with a #2 Phillips screwdriver.
3 Grip both handles and pull the fan tray halfway out of the chassis.
4 Grip the sides of the fan tray and pull it from chassis.
5 Hold the new fan tray with both hands and slide the small end several inches into the fan slot.
6 Push on the rear, near the handles, until the fan tray stops and it is flush with the chassis rear.
7 Secure the fan tray into place by gently tightening the screws. You can either tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips
screwdriver or with your fingers.
8 Verify that the fan tray LED is lit green (online).
