Removing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2 microprocessor fan

Perform the following steps to remove the microprocessor fan:

  1. Turn off the node while ensuring that its data is mirrored and synchronized. See MAP 5350: Powering off a SAN Volume Controller node for more information.
  2. Remove the node from the rack and place it on a flat, static-protective surface. See Removing the SAN Volume Controller from a rack.
  3. Remove the top cover. See Removing the top cover.
  4. Disconnect the fan cable from the system board.
    Note: The fans are numbered from one to four, from left to right, as shown in Figure 1.
  5. Lift the fan upward out of the retaining clip.
    Note: To remove the fourth fan, first remove the third fan, then move the fourth fan to the left before lifting it.
