System Fans
Six hot-swappable fans provide cooling from the middle of the chassis.
Replacing a System Fan
1. Use IPMI or another monitoring tool, if available, to determine which fan has failed.
2. Open the chassis cover. If a monitoring tool is not available, observe which fan has
failed. (Never run the server for an extended period of time with the chassis cover
open.)
3. Remove the failed fan's power cord from the motherboard.
4. Press the fan release tab to lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it completely out
of the chassis.
5. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the arrows on
the top of the fan (indicating airflow direction) point in the same direction as the arrows
on the other fans.
6. Check that the fan is working properly before replacing the chassis cover.
