Replace Fan and Power Supply

Replace a fan or power supply on a CS-Storm 500NX 1U server.

The CS-Storm 500NX 1U server contains eight 9cm hot-pluggable fans that provide cooling for the system. Four of these fans are combined with the four hot-pluggable power supplies. There is no need to power down the system when switching fans or power supplies.

In the event of a power supply failure, the remaining power modules can continue server operation. The failed power module can be replaced without powering-down the system. Be sure to replace power supplies with the same model.

An amber light on the power supply is illuminated when the power is switched off. A green light indicates that the power supply is operating.

Replace a System Fan or Power Supply

  1. Determine which fan/power supply has failed using IPMI or observation.
  2. For a power supply, disconnect the power cord.
  3. Lift the locking lever and pull the fan/power supply module from the housing/bay.
  4. Push the new fan/power supply module into the bay until it clicks into place. Press the locking lever down to ensure the module is seated.
  5. For a power supply, plug the AC power cord back into the power supply module.
