NOTE: Allow several seconds for the expansion enclosure to recognize the PSU and determine

its status. When the PSU is functioning properly, the Power OK indicator turns green and the

PSU fault and AC fault indicators are off.

In the Dell Storage Client, make sure that the replacement PSU is recognized and shown as up and

running.

Replacing Cooling Fan Modules

The SC180 expansion enclosure supports five cooling fan modules. If one cooling fan module fails, the

remaining cooling fan modules continue to cool the expansion enclosure.

NOTE: When a cooling fan module fails, the cooling fan speed in the remaining modules increases

significantly to provide adequate cooling. The cooling fan speed decreases gradually when a new

cooling fan module is installed.

To determine which cooling fan module failed, use the Dell Storage Client.

Click the Hardware tab.

In the Hardware tab navigation pane, select and expand the failed storage system.

In the Hardware Alerts area, find the hardware alert that identifies the enclosure with the failed

cooling fan.
