Replacing Fan Modules
The seven fan modules in the server are numbered as shown in the figure 1.
Tip Each fan module has a fault LED next to the fan connector on the motherboard. This LED lights green when
the fan is correctly seated and is operating OK. The LED lights amber when the fan has a fault or is not
correctly seated.
Caution You do not have to shut down or remove power from the server to replace fan modules because they are hot-
swappable. However, to maintain proper cooling, do not operate the server for more than one minute with
any fan module removed.
Step 1
Remove an existing fan module:
a) Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach
cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.
Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.
