Replacing Fans - Intel SC5000 Subassembly Product Manual

CAUTIONS
ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. Perform all
procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is not
available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap
attached to chassis groundany unpainted metal surfaceon your server
when handling parts.
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD.
Hold boards only by their edges. Do not touch the connector contacts. After
removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the
board component side up on a grounded, static free surface. If you place the
server board on a conductive surface, the battery leads may short out. If
they do, this will result in a loss of CMOS data and will drain the battery.
Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not
slide board over any surface.
For proper cooling and airflow, always install the access cover before
turning on the server. Operating it without the cover in place can damage
system parts.

Replacing Fans

The SC5000 chassis contains two replaceable system fans. The power supply fan(s) are not
replaceable. Your replacement fan should be the same size and type as the fan you are removing.
1. Remove the access cover.
2. Remove the top part of the foam epac.
3. Disconnect the fan cable from the server board.
4. Remove the fan from the lower part of the foam epac.
5. Place the new fan into the foam epac. Make sure the airflow is towards the server board. For
most fans, this means the label should face the server board.
6. Connect the fan cable to the server board.
7. Replace the upper foam epac.
8. Replace the access cover.
