Changing Fan Modules

The Network Automation NT-2200 appliance ships with five hot-swappable fan modules, to 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, but generates an SNMP trap. You can also monitor the status of the fan modules by logging in to the Infoblox GUI.

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.
