Fan assembly replacement

The Brocade 5300 switch has three fan assemblies as displayed in Figure 1. Fabric OS identifies the fans from left

to right as Fan assembly #3, Fan assembly #2, and Fan assembly #1.

FIGURE 1 Brocade 5300 fan assemblies on the nonport side

CAUTION

Disassembling any part of the fan assembly voids the part warranty and regulatory certifications. There

are no user-serviceable parts inside the fan assembly. Because the cooling system relies on pressurized

air, do not leave any of the fan assembly slots empty longer than two minutes while the switch is

operating. If a fan assembly fails, leave it in the switch until it can be replaced. Maintain all three fan

assemblies in operational condition to provide redundancy.
