Each fan tray plugs into a blind mating receptacle inside the chassis, and is secured by a retention screw on either side of the front of the fan tray.

Fan Tray Components
Do not insert your fingers or foreign objects into the DSC Platformwhile it is operating and the fan blades are rotating.
Cooling capability is reduced when fan trays are absent from an operating DSC Platformchassis; therefore, it is important to minimize the time that a fan tray is absent. For typical system configurations, no fan tray should be absent for more than two minutes during operation.
A #2 flat blade screwdriver is required to remove a fan tray.
The chassis does not have to be powered down to remove a fan tray.

Press the fan tray in firmly to seat its connector.
Observe that the LED is lit and then eventually is unlit, and the service LED shows green indicating an in-service condition. The fans automatically start.
The service LED is located on the side of the fan tray opposite to the hot-swap LED.
