Replacing Fan Modules

The Infoblox 2205 series appliances ship with five hot-swappable fan modules, so you can replace a fan module without interrupting appliance operations. Each fan has an air vent that allows warm air to flow out of the appliance.

If a fan stops operating due to removal or a failure, the appliance continues to run and generates an SNMP trap. You can also monitor the status of the fan modules by logging in to the Grid Manager.

You can access the fan modules from the rear panel.

To replace a fan module:

1. Identify the replacement fan.
2. Press the catch-release lever upward, grip the handle, and pull the fan module straight out, as described in Removing a Fan Module .
3. Position the new fan module in the bay, and push it forward until it is fully seated against the back plane.
