Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-28

Hi, I have smart ups SMC1500i, it's already out of warranty. But the fan is produce rattle sound, so I want to replace it with the new one. Can someone inform me what the exact spec, type, and brand fan of the SMC1500i?

Unplug the battery and mains power then press the power button a few times to discharge it, you will not be going near the back of the mainboard where you could accidentally catch the capacitor legs. Not sure if yours is the same as mine as I can undo the plate the fan is on to gain access.

Have a look at it, I did and found my 2200i had a 24v fan, I replaced it with a Sunon vapo bearing fan ME92252V3-A99

Do you mean you have SMT2200i?

Is the replacement process easy, or does it require another process, such as re-soldering?

Yes i have the smt2200i

No soldering required but you do have to cut the plug off and push the wires into the plug of the old one. It's no harder than swapping a pc case fan.

Remember the capacitors can kill you so use the correct precautions.

Ok then, thanks for your guiding.

And, do I have to unplugged the battery, and for how long? For precaution like you said.
