Replacing a chassis fan

chassis fan as soon as possible. The indications of a failed chassis fan include:
• An error in Lenovo XClarity Administrator

Figure 25. Fan
To replace a chassis fan, perform the following steps:
1. It is possible to replace the chassis fan while the system is powered on providing that the cable
management arm is in place by pulling the node chassis out of the rack.
2. Remove the top cover as described in "Removing the cover" on page 104.
3. Replace the chassis fan with the error LED on as described in "Replacing a thermal kit (hot-swap
fan)" on page 129.
4. Replace the top cover as described in "Replacing the cover" on page 105.
5. Push node chassis back into the rack.
6. Verify that the chassis fan has been successfully replaced by checking the following:
• Error LED for the replaced fan is off.
• Orange warning light on the node front panel is extinguished.
• No error shown in Lenovo XClarity Administrator.
• No error shown in Prism.

Replacing a network interface card (NIC)

The Lenovo Converged HX Series appliances can support up to eight network ports: two or four 10 GbE
ports (up to 2 NICs) and four 1 GbE ports on the system board. A node requires network connectivity to
function as part of a cluster. If one network interface is available, the failure of the other network interfaces
does not cause service interruption but may cause service degradation.
The indications of a failed NIC include:
• No LED is illuminated for the network interface.
• Guest VM performance degrades.
