Replacing the system fan
Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding "Read this first: safety
information" on page iii and "Guidelines" on page 69.
Your server has four system fans. You can view the system-fan status LEDs on the chassis to identify which
system fan might have problems and need to be replaced. See "System-fan status LEDs" on page 30.
CAUTION:
Hazardous moving parts. Keep fingers and other body parts away.
Before you begin, print all the related instructions or ensure that you can view the PDF version on another
computer for reference.
Note: Depending on the model, your server might look slightly different from the illustrations in this topic.
To replace a system fan, do the following:
1. If the server is installed in a rack cabinet, remove the server from the rack cabinet and place it on a flat,
clean, and static-protective surface. See the Rack Installation Instructions that comes with the server.
2. Remove the server cover.
