Review all the information in the previous section
replacing a failed fan. The following subsections describe how to remove and replace a system
fan.
1. Remove the chassis cover if you have not already done so.
2. Press the tabs on the sides of the fan to unlock and pull the failed fan straight up and out of
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.
1. 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.
Tip: If the Overheat/Fan Fail LED does not stop flashing after installation of the new fan, try
rebooting the system.
This section describes drive bay installation and removal.
Drives: You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove power to replace or swap a
RAIDed hard disk drive. Data may be lost or corrupted if you hot swap a Jbod disk drive.
Removing a drive without replacing it may cause system errors. Proceed to the next section for
further hard drive instructions.
