PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
How to replace a Rear Fan Module in a Sun Blade 6000 system.

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE
RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?:
The Rear Fan Modules can be removed and replaced from a powered-off system or from a powered-on system using a hot-swap procedure.

- WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE:

How to remove a Rear Fan Module

1. At the rear of the chassis, locate the fan module that you want to remove.
The amber Fan Service LED on the module will be ON.
2. Press and hold the green button on the fan handle.
3. Pull out the rear fan module in a smooth motion until it is free from the chassis.

How to install a Rear Fan Module

1. In the back of the system chassis, locate the vacant fan module slot.
2. Using both hands, align the fan module with the vacant slot.
Make sure that the green button on the handle of the fan module is at the top of the fan.
3. Slide the fan module into the vacant slot until the front panel meets the chassis.

After you install the rear fan module, the chassis management module (CMM) automatically detects the new module.
Since there are no presence sensors, and no FRUID on fan modules, replacing the fan requires you to clear the fault in ILOM.

4. Clear the fault in the ILOM web interface or CLI.

To clear the fault using the web interface:
a. Login to the ILOM web interface.
The Chassis View page appears.
b. Navigate to System Information -> Fault Management.
c. In the Fault Management page, enable the radio button next to the faulted component, then select Clear Fault.

To clear the fault using the CLI:
a. Log into the ILOM CLI.
b. Click on CMM in the left navigation panel.
c. Type the following command:

->set component_path clear_fault_action=true
For example, to clear the fault for Fan 0.
->set /CH/FM0 clear_fault_action=true
