Replacing a hot-swap fan

Completing the installation

Your server comes with six hot-swap fans. You do not need to turn off the power to
the server to replace a hot-swap fan.
Attention: To help ensure proper cooling, replace a fan that has failed within 48
hours.
To replace a hot-swap fan:
1. Remove the top cover (see "Removing the server top cover and bezel" on page
41).
Attention: To ensure proper system cooling, do not leave the top cover off the
server for more than 30 minutes.
2. Grasp the fan handle, and lift the fan out of the server.
3. Slide the replacement fan into the server.
4. Replace the top cover (see "Installing the server top cover and bezel" on page 62).
To complete your installation, you must reinstall the top cover, reinstall the bezel,
reconnect all the cables that you disconnected earlier and, for certain options, run the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. Follow the instructions in this section.
Attention: To maintain proper cooling and airflow, install the top cover before
turning on the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (over 30
minutes) with the top cover removed might damage server components.
