Explanation

Fans in the VSP E1090 are hot-swappable by design, meaning they can be physically removed and replaced while the system is running - no software intervention is required beforehand. Option A is wrong because the MPC (Maintenance PC) is not part of the fan replacement workflow; it's used for other maintenance tasks. Option B is wrong because the Maintenance Utility is not needed to "stop" a fan before removal - the hardware handles this automatically. Option D is wrong because Storage Navigator manages logical storage configuration, not hardware component replacement procedures.

Memory tip: Think "fans are fast" - if a component is hot-swappable, you go straight to the hardware. Any answer that adds a software blocking step before a hot-swap is a red flag on Hitachi VSP hardware questions.
