Replacing a System Fan
1. Open the chassis while the power is running to determine which fan has failed.
(Never run the server for an extended period of time with the chassis cover
open.)
2. Remove the failed fan's power cord from the serverboard.
3. Press the fan release tab to lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it
completely out of the chassis.
4. 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.
5. Check that the fan is working properly before replacing the chassis cover.
