3. Unplug the blower from the backplane. The connector
is keyed so that it can be reinstalled correctly and has
also been placed through a holder on the fan bracket to
keep it out of the way during fan installation and
removal.
Reverse the steps to reinstall the blower.
The following figure shows the blower intake access hole.
Contact with the access hole must be avoided while the blower
is running to prevent injury.
Blower Replacement
If the blower has stopped running or the front device canister status LEDs are all
blinking ‘Red’, the blower may need to be replaced.
Before replacing, the cable connection should be checked to ensure that the
connector is firmly seated and that there is nothing blocking the blower intake
blades that could cause interference. If you believe a blower is in a nonfunctional
state, please contact the place of purchase for repair or replacement.
