WARNINGS ABOUT REMOVING PANEL:

If pulling the front panel while the unit is a chassis and running, do not leave the panel off for

•

an extended period of time. There is very little cooling once the fan is out of position and the

unit may overheat.

The sheet metal around the ribbon cable is sharp, be careful to not cut the cable or wedge it

•

between any of the edges.

Be careful when reassembling to not let the ribbon cable stick out into the guide track and

•

locking hole on the top of the chassis.

9.3. Changing failed fan.

In the event the RP2's fan fails, the unit maybe fine and operate indefinitely provided the secondary

cooling fans in the RAIDFrame chassis is able to keep the unit cool enough. Since the RP2's fan sit

right up front in the RP2's front panel, checking if a fan is running is an easy audible or visual

inspection.

If you received messages via HW RAID manager of temperature problems, the RP2's fan is the first

suspect. If the fan is indeed stopped or sluggish, or making noises like the bearing is failing, the

replacement procedure is simple and can even be done while the pack is running in a RAIDFrame

chassis without interruption.

Follow the RP2's Service Access procedure above. Then:

1. Remove the four addition inner screws shown above that are located on the inside back of the

RP2 front panel.

2. Note the air flow direction: it draws air from outside and blows it inward. Also note the

position of the fan cable.

3. Remove the four fan screws on the fan mount plate.

4. Unplug the fan connector from the indicator board mounted on the RP2 front panel.

5. Install the replacement fan in the same airflow direction and with the fan cable orientation.

6. Plug the fan cable back in.

7. Install the fan plate.

8. Install the RP2 front panel in the reverse fashion described in the above Service Access

procedure.
