System Fan Replacement

System fans used in the Intel Server System R2000WF product family are hot-swappable.
CAUTION: To minimize possible performance degradation and other thermal related issues, system fan
replacement while the system is operational should be performed as quickly as possible.
System fans operate at very high speeds. Keep all tools and fingers away from all operational system fans
when swapping out a defective fan.
Components within an operational system can get very hot. Avoid touching any components within the
system while swapping out a defective system fan.
