System Fans
Three heavy-duty fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air
through the chassis as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature. The
SC216 fans are hot-swappable, enabling the fans to be replaced without powering
-down the system.
Release Tab
Replacing a System Fan
1. If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which
fan requires changing. (Never run the server for an extended period of time
with the chassis open.)
2. Power down the system as described in Section 5-2 and open the chassis
cover.
3. Press the fan release tab to lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it
completely out of the chassis.
4. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the
arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same direc-
tion as the arrows on the other fans.
5. The fan will automatically begin running at the correct speed.
