Installing the Fan Tray

The C-Series chassis contains one field-replaceable fan tray. There are two types

of fan tray that may be installed: one contains six fans that run at varying speeds

depending on system temperature; the other one contains six fans that run at a

constant speed. For both types of trays, air flows through the system toward the

fans (right to left) and is exhausted on fan-side of the chassis. The fan tray is

accessible from the front of the chassis.

WARNING: To ensure proper temperature and airflow control, the fan tray

must always be installed and operating properly.

NOTE: The system does not have an air filter so take special care in making sure

that the installation site and the chassis itself are cleaned regularly.

Step

Task

Slide the fan tray into the fan slot.

Gently push on the front of the tray until it stops. The fan tray should be

flush with the chassis.

Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to secure the fan tray into place by

tightening the screws at the top and bottom of the fan tray.
