Replacing the FSX 1600 fan assemblies
The FSX 1600 has two fan assemblies, both accessible from the rear. Each assembly has a fan which
pulls warm air out of the chassis.
You can remove and replace a fan assembly while the FSX 1600 chassis is powered on and running.
To replace the fan tray, you need the following:
• A new fan assembly, which you can order from Brocade
• An ESD strap (provided with the fan assembly kit) or an ESD wrist strap with a plug for connection
to the ESD connector on the chassis.
• In addition to the above, you might also need a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver.
DANGER
For safety reasons, the ESD wrist strap should contain a series 1 megohm resistor.
To replace a fan assembly, perform the following tasks.
1. Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector
located in the top right corner of the chassis front.
2. Using the flathead screwdriver, loosen the four captive screws that secure the fan (marked "Fan A"
or "Fan B") to the back of the chassis.
3. Remove the fan from the chassis by inserting your fingers underneath the fan enclosure and pulling
the enclosure toward you as shown in the figure below. Pulling the enclosure unseats the fan
connector from a chassis connector.
DANGER
Be careful not to accidentally insert your fingers into the fan while removing it from the
chassis. The fan may still be spinning at a high speed.
