Replacing System Fans

007-5688-003

This section describes how to remove or install a system fan.

Remove the chassis cover.

2. Press the tabs on the sides of the fan to unlock and remove the fan and its housing. The fan's

power connections will automatically detach.

3. System power does not need to be shut down since the fans are hot-pluggable.

Replace the failed fan with an identical 8-cm, 12 volt fan.

2. Position the new fan into the space vacated by the failed fan previously removed. A "click"

can be heard when the fan is fully installed in place and the power connections are made.

3. If the system power is on, the hot-plug feature will cause the fan to start immediately upon

being connected to its header on the serverboard.

SATA Drives: You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove power to replace or

swap SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.

Note: You must use standard 1" high, SATA drives in the system.

DVD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing the DVD-ROM disk drive, you will need to gain

access to the inside of the server by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the

"DVD-ROM Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.
