Replacing the Fan Drawer
Three fans are mounted in the Fan drawer, where the airflow is from right
to left. Should one of these fans fail as indicated by a Fan LED, you are
required to replace the Fan drawer.
1 Unscrew the captive screws on the front panel of the RMX 2000 that
secure the Fan drawer.
2 Use the metal ejector levers to pull the Fan drawer out of its slot in the
Backplane.
3 Carefully slide the Fan drawer out through the front panel.
4 Slide in the replacement Fan drawer.
5 Push the Fan drawer firmly into the Backplane, making sure it is
properly seated in its slot.
6 Ensure that the metal ejector levers are fully retracted into their
housings.
7 Tighten the captive screws on the front panel of the RMX 2000 that
secure the Fan drawer.
Warning!
The Fan drawer can be replaced when the RMX unit is ON, however a
replacement drawer must be inserted immediately. The temperature increase is
detected by the system, when critical, a system shutdown is initiated.
