How to install Hpe Fan Tray Aruba Hw 7200 Ft Series
- Prepare and verify: Confirm that your system supports hot-swappable fan trays and that you have a compatible HPE Aruba HW 7200 FT Series chassis or enclosure. Review any on-site maintenance procedures and ensure you have appropriate ESD precautions and tools on hand.
- Identify the tray to replace: Use the management interface or LED indicators to locate the degraded or faulted fan tray. Note any alert codes or color indicators that point to degraded airflow or fault conditions for quick reference during replacement.
- Initiate hot-swap: In supported systems, you can perform a hot-swap without powering down the entire node. Gently release the tray latch, slide the tray out of its bay, and detach any immediate backplane connections as required by your chassis design.
- Install the replacement: Align the new HPE Fan Tray Aruba HW 7200 FT Series with the bay guides and slide it in until it seats securely. Reconnect backplane interfaces or connectors, and re-engage the latch to lock the tray in place.
- Verify operation: Confirm that the replacement tray powers up and that LED indicators show healthy status. Use the management dashboard to verify airflow is restored to normal levels and that all sensors report within expected ranges. If applicable, run a quick health check or diagnostic from the system management tools to confirm full functionality.
