3. Lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the system.
WARNING!
Ensure that the chassis cover is in place when the system is
operating to allow proper cooling. Out-of-warranty damage to the
system can occur if you do not strictly follow this practice.

Replacing a Fan

If a fan fails, the remaining fans ramp up to full speed, the fan LED on the control panel
illuminates and an email alert is sent to the system administrator. Replace a failed fan as
soon as possible. Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to determine
which fan failed.
Fans are hot-pluggable, so you do not need to power down your unit when replacing a fan.

