Removing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4 fans
Take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. Wear an anti-static wrist strap and use a
static-protected mat or surface. For more information, see “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page xx.
Perform the following steps to remove a failed fan:
1. Turn off the node while ensuring that its data is mirrored and synchronized. See MAP 5350 in the
IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
2. Slide the node forward to gain access to the fan doors (

in Figure 241 on page 243).
3. Open the fan door for the failing fan. The LED near the connector of the failing fan assembly is lit,
unless you remove the power cable.
Note: The node has six fan positions that are numbered left to right under the two fan doors.
