3.3 Replacing Enclosure Fans
The enclosure helps cool the server with three redundant PWM fans, which are hot-swappable
for easy replacement. Refer to the following steps to gain access to the fans.
Opening the Fan Cover and Replacing the Fans
1. Remove the two hex screws (#6-32, UNC) as shown below to open the fan cover and
let it swing down on its hinges. (System power can remain on.)
2. Unscrew the waterproof fan connector from the failed fan by twisting the fan connector
counter-clockwise.
3. Wait for five seconds for the fans to stop rotating then lift the fan housing (which
contains two fans) completely out.
4. Insert a new fan housing and push it into its bay until it snaps in, making sure the rubber
dampers are in place.
5. Reattach the fan connector paying attention to the keyed notch.
6. Screw in the waterproof fan connector by twisting it clockwise until it stops.
7. Finish by closing the cover at securing with the hex screws.
Caution: To prevent over heating, do not leave the fan cover open for longer than 3 minutes.
