BlackArmor® NAS 440/420 Cooling Fan Replacement Procedures
Follow these steps to replace the cooling fan in a BlackArmor® NAS 440/420 server.

WARNING: ESD Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the processor, disk drives, main board, memory modules (RAM), and other
BlackArmor components. Always observe the following precautions before you replace a fan:
●
Do not remove a component from its protective packaging until you are ready to install it.
●
Do not touch the component pins, leads, or circuitry.
●
Wear a wrist grounding strap and attach it to a metal part of the system before handling components. If a wrist
strap is not available, maintain contact with the system throughout any procedure requiring ESD protection.
●
Keep the work area free of nonconductive materials, such as ordinary plastic assembly aids and foam packing.
