Replacing cooling system components
The BigIron RX Series cooling systems are described in the following sections:
•
“Replacing fan assemblies in the BigIron RX-16”
•
“Replacing the fan assembly in the BigIron RX-4 and BigIron RX-8”
You can replace a fan or a fan control module while the BigIron RX Series chassis is powered on
and running. The fans and fan control modules are located on rear panel of the BigIron RX Series
chassis.
CAUTION
If hot removing or inserting a module, please allow a minimum of 2 seconds after a module (or
power supply or fan tray) has been removed before inserting a module in the same slot.
The following sections provide more information about replacing these components.
Replacing fan assemblies in the BigIron RX-16
The BigIron RX-16 has three fan assemblies: one accessible from the front of the chassis and two
accessible from the rear. The front assembly pushes air into the chassis and the rear fans pull air
out.
You can remove and replace a fan assembly while the BigIron RX-16 chassis is powered on and
running.
CAUTION
To avoid overheating of the BigIron RX-16 chassis, remove only one fan assembly at a time, and
replace it promptly. Do not remove all fans from the chassis at one time.
To replace a fan, you need the following:
•
A new fan assembly, which you can order from Brocade
•
A small flathead screwdriver
