Replacing the Fans
HP-AM456-9002A Rev 01
The six fans are installed prior to shipping, but may need to be replaced in the
unlikely event of a fan failure. The fans are hot-swappable components and can
be replaced while the Memory Array is in-service.
Allow the fans to slow down before removing them.
WARNING!

2.
new fan module.
Place a new fan tray module in the empty fan slot and push it into the
3.
