5. If you are leaving power on for replacement (hot-swap), be sure to replace the fan assembly as soon as possible.
This completes the procedure for removing a fan assembly.

Installing a Fan Assembly

Complete the following steps to install the fan assembly in a chassis:
1. Grasp the handle and carefully slide the fan assembly into the chassis while supporting the fan assembly from
beneath.
2. Push the fan assembly fully into the slot with your fingers until it seats in the backplane connectors, and securely
tighten the captive screw.
3. Verify that the power LED displays a green light.
4. Push in on each captive screw and tighten with a No. 1 Phillips screwdriver to secure the fan assembly to the chassis.
NOTE
Be sure that the captive screws are tightened. If they are not tightened, high pressure from fan operation
may unseat the fan from the chassis connectors.

Verifying Fan Operation

Perform the following tasks to verify operation of a fan assembly:
1. Check the LED indicators on the fan assemblies. The fan assemblies are located on the nonport side of the device.
The LED patterns may temporarily change during POST and other diagnostic tests. For information on interpreting
LED patterns, see Interpreting Fan Assembly
2. Check the fan assembly status using the following commands:
•
fanShow – Displays the status for each fan assembly as OK, Absent, or Faulty. The RPM of each fan in the
assembly is also provided. If a fan assembly displays a status of Absent or Faulty, contact the chassis supplier to
order replacement parts. A status of either could be the result of the fan not being properly seated in the chassis
slot.
•
sensorShow – Displays current temperature and status of fan and power supply sensors that are located in the
chassis.
•
errShow – Displays error log messages one at a time.
•
errDump – Displays the entire system error log.
