Replacing a Brocade 6520 fan
Complete the following steps to replace a fan in a Brocade 6520. Refer to Figure 11 for this
procedure.
1. Using the Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the captive screw on the fan.
DANGER
Be careful not to insert your fingers into the fan while removing it from the device. The fan may
still be spinning at high speed.
2. Remove the fan from the chassis by using the handle on the fan to pull it straight out and away
from the chassis.
3. Install the new fan in the chassis:
a. Check to see that the airflow direction is the same as the fan you are replacing.
b. Orient the new fan with the captive screw on the right, as shown in Figure 10.
CAUTION
Do not force the installation. If the fan does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented
before continuing.
