To remove and install a hot-swappable fan from the front of the server chassis, follow these steps:
CAUTION:
If you are hot-swapping a fan assembly in response to an error message, and the system is
operating normally, hot-swapping the fan in less than 30 seconds eliminates the requirement for
a system reboot.
Hot-swapping the fan in less than two minutes enables continued operation and prevents
automatic shutdown.
1. Remove the front grill. See
2. Use the ACX-15 Torx screwdriver to loosen the two captive screws on the plastic fan extractor
handle (left side of fan)
3. Using the extractor handle, pull the fan from the server chassis.
4. Orient the replacement fan so that the extractor handle is on the left. Insert the fan into the
chassis opening and press it firmly into place.
5. Tighten the two captive screws that secure the fan in place.
