33 Maintaining and Replacing the Fan Maintaining and Replacing the Fan Fan Inspection and Maintenance Westell recommends inspecting the fan built into Remote RMX-3200 every six months. The inspector should make sure the fan is operating, the opening is not obstructed, and the filter is clean. Clean or replace the filter if needed (see instructions below). If the fan is making noise, replacement is advisable. Cleaning the Fan Filter Westell recommends cleaning or replacing the fan filter every three to six months. Fan filters need to be replaced at least every two to three years to ensure media reliability and eliminate residual dust buildup and subsequent airflow resistance. 1. Remove the filter from the housing on the front of Remote RMX-3200 prior to initiating cleaning. 2. The filter may be cleaned using slightly compressed air, a vacuum, mild detergent, and/or clean water. If cleaning with compressed air or vacuum only, the dry filter can be reinstalled immediately. 3. If cleaning with water: The filter should be completely dry before reinstallation. Use only a mild detergent, such as dishwashing liquid, if degreasing is necessary. Avoid using harsh solvents or cleaning agents. 4. Also clean the filter housing and the filter mounting location on Remote RMX prior to reinstallation of the filter. Use only a dry cloth or swab to clean Remote RMX Fan Replacement Procedure If the fan built into Remote RMX-3200 fails to operate, follow these steps to replace it. Note: Because of the difficulty involved with this replacement procedure, customers may instead contact Westell Customer Assistance to return the Remote RMX for fan replacement service. CAUTION: This procedure involves opening the Remote RMX-3200 s external housing. Great care needs to be taken to avoid damaging the internal components. Use an antistatic wrist strap throughout the procedure, and work on antistatic mats if possible. Avoid touching the circuit board and other components unnecessarily with hands, tools, or anything else. Work in a clean, dry environment so the circuitry is not exposed to moisture, dirt, dust, or anything else which could cause damage. Page 31

34 Maintaining and Replacing the Fan 1. Obtain a replacement fan and filter assembly by contacting Westell Customer Assistance. Order: Westell Part # (fan) Westell Part # (fan filter assembly). 2. Disconnect power from Remote RMX-3200 and disconnect all wires from the device. 3. Remove the fan filter assembly from the front of Remote RMX Detach Remote RMX-3200 from its rack and remove the mounting flanges. 5. Remove the four screws holding the Remote RMX-3200 s top cover in place. These are located on the sides of the housing near the back, with two on each side. 6. Use a small flathead screwdriver to pry the top cover of Remote RMX-3200 backward from the front face of the housing. Once the top cover is pried about 2-3 mm backwards, use your hands to continue pushing the top cover backwards until it can be removed. 7. Remove the card or other device from the Remote RMX-3200 expansion slot. Fan Mounting Bracket Power and Control connection Fan installed in Remote RMX-3200 viewed from the left rear with the top cover and expansion card removed and the mounting bracket and power and control connections in place 8. Remove the mounting bracket holding the fan in place by removing the single screw and lifting the bracket. See the photo above. 9. Slide the fan as far back as it will go. Then, working from in front of the device, use both thumbs to press gently but firmly to tilt the top of the fan backwards until it snaps free from the top lip of the front housing. See the following photo. Page 32

35 Maintaining and Replacing the Fan CAUTION: Leave the fan power and control wires connected while removing the fan to guard against impaling thumbs on the connector pins protruding upward from the circuit board. See the following photo. Press down and back to tilt fan until it snaps free To guard against impaling thumbs on these connector pins, leave the fan power.and control wires connected while removing the fan. Removing the fan 10. Disconnect the power and control wires and remove the fan. 11. Connect the replacement fan s power and control wires and snap the fan into place using the reverse of the removal procedure. 12. Replace the fan mounting bracket. Be sure the two bracket tabs go into the bottom holes on the fan housing to hold the fan securely in place. 13. Reinstall the expansion card or other device in the expansion slot. 14. Reinstall the top cover on Remote RMX Replace the fan filter with the new filter and reinstall the filter assembly on the front of Remote RMX Reinstall the mounting flanges, mount Remote RMX-3200 on the rack, and reconnect the power and all other wire connections. 17. Verify that the replacement fan is operating. Page 33

37 Calculating Power Consumption and Heat Dissipation Calculating Power Consumption and Heat Dissipation To calculate power consumption and heat dissipation for Remote RMX-3200: 1. Use Table 4 to calculate power consumed internally by Remote RMX Enter in the Subtotals column the resources used and any interface module that may be installed. Add the Subtotals values to obtain the internal power consumption. Table 4 Calculating Internal Power Consumption Resource Power Subtotals Remote RMX-3200 base unit 11W 11W Ethernet ports (linked) 0.25W x port count W Expansion card, if present (will be ONE of the following): RME-S8 Serial Expansion Card (3.2W) RME-B64 Alarm Expansion Card (4.0W) RME-E8 Ethernet Expansion Card (6.5W) RMX-WWAN-XX Expansion Card (5.0W) RMX-WTE-XX Expansion Card (3.4W) RMX-WGBE Expansion Card (5.0W) W External sensor power used x 0.2W W PoE power used (each RMB peripheral consumes 15W maximum, plus 0.1W in losses) Internal Power Consumption x 0.1W W = W 2. Use Table 5 to calculate total chassis heat dissipation. Enter the internal power consumption value from Table 4 in the first blank, then multiply by the conversion factor 3.41 to obtain total chassis heat dissipation in Btu/hr. Table 5 Calculating Total Chassis Heat Dissipation Total Internal Power Consumption (from Table 4) W Conversion factor x 3.41 Total Chassis Heat Dissipation = Btu/Hr 3. Use Table 6 to calculate total input power. Enter the internal power consumption value from Table 4 in the first blank, then add external sensor power and PoE power used to obtain total input power.
