Installing the AT-MCF2KFAN Fan Module

To install the AT-MCF2KFAN fan module, perform the following procedure:

1. Remove the fan module from the shipping package.

Note

Store the packaging material in a safe location. You must use the original
shipping material if you need to return the unit to Allied Telesis.

2. Remove a blank panel from a power supply/fan module slot on the back

panel of the chassis by loosening the two captive screws on the panel with
a cross-head screwdriver. Refer to the chassis’ Installation Guide for the
location of the power supply/fan module slots.

Note

Do not remove a blank panel from the chassis until you are ready to install
a module, especially if the device is powered on. An open slot allows dust
to enter the unit and impedes the ability of the chassis to maintain proper
airflow and cooling.

3. Slide the fan module into the slot as shown in Figure 3, until it is flush with

the back panel of the chassis. Light pressure may be needed to seat the
module on the connector on the back panel of the chassis.

Caution

Do not force the module into place. Doing so may damage the
connector pins on the backplane inside the chassis.

4. Secure the fan module to the chassis by tightening the two captive screws

using a cross-head screwdriver. Refer to Figure 4.
