Power Supply/Cooling Fan Module

NOTE:

Your storage array includes two integrated, hot-swappable power

supply/cooling fan modules.

The array supports two hot-swappable power supply/cooling fan modules.

While the array can operate temporarily with one module, both the modules

must be present for proper system cooling.

CAUTION:

A single power supply/cooling fan module can be removed from a

powered-on array for a maximum period of 5 minutes. Beyond that time, the array
may automatically shut down to prevent damage.

Removing a Power Supply/Cooling Fan Module

CAUTION:

Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You must

only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product
documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.
Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty.
Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.

NOTE:

If you remove a fully functioning power supply/cooling fan module, the fan

speed in the remaining module increases significantly to provide adequate cooling.

The fan speed decreases gradually when a new power supply/cooling fan module

is installed.

1 Turn off the power supply/cooling fan module.
2 Disconnect the power cable from the power source.
3 Remove the straps that secure the power cable and then disconnect the

power cable from the power supply/cooling fan module.

WARNING:

The power supply/cooling fan modules are heavy. Use both hands

while removing the module.

4 Press the release tab and pull the power supply out of the chassis.
