Replacing a Cisco Nexus 7010 System Fan Tray During Operations
Step 1 Place an antistatic mat or antistatic foam where you can place two fan trays (the new fan tray and the one
that you will remove from the switch).
Choose a place that prevents damage to the fan trays while they are outside the chassis.
Step 2 Unpack and place the replacement fan tray on the antistatic mat or antistatic foam.
Step 3 With a hand on each of the ring handles at the top and bottom edges of the front of the fan tray,
simultaneously press the spring knob on each handle, and pull the fan tray part way out of the chassis.
Step 4 Place one hand under the fan tray to support its weight and the other hand on the handle on the middle
of the front of the module, and then pull the module fully out of the chassis.
Step 5 Turn the module counterclockwise so that its components can be seen from above, and place the module
on an antistatic surface.
Step 6 Place one hand under the replacement fan tray and the other hand on its handle on the middle of the front
of the fan tray.
Step 7 Pick up the module and turn it clockwise so that its left side is on top.
Step 8 Align the fan tray to the open fan tray slot in the chassis and press the module all the way into the slot
until its front comes in contact with the chassis and the top and bottom spring clips click.
Step 9 Make sure that the STATUS LED turns on and is green.
