Replacing System Fans

1. If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which
fan requires changing. (Never run the server for an extended period of time
with the chassis open.)
2. Press the fan release tab to lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it
completely from the chassis.
3. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing, while making sure
the arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same
direction as the arrows on the other fans.
4. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly before re-
placing the chassis cover.

Air Shroud

Air shrouds concentrate airflow to maximize fan efficiency. The SC826 chassis air
shroud does not require screws to set up.
Installing the Air Shroud
1. Lay the chassis on a flat, stable surface and remove the chassis cover.
2. If necessary, move any cables that interfere with the air shroud placement.
3. Place the air shroud in the chassis. The air shroud fits just behind the two
fans closest to the power supply. Slide the air shroud into the grooves just
behind the fan rack.
4. If necessary, the perforated tabs on either side of the air shroud may be
removed to ensure a proper fit.
