Remove a Fan Module
You do not have to power off the server to service fan modules.
Caution:
When removing and replacing a fan module you must complete the entire
procedure within 60 seconds to maintain adequate cooling in the system.
Remove and replace only one fan module at a time. Ensure that you have
obtained the replacement fan module and that is it is ready for installation
before starting the replacement procedure.
Each fan module contains one fan, with two fan motors per fan. The two fan
motors provide separate tachometer signals so that the fan module reports
two tach signals to Oracle ILOM. Even if only one fan motor is faulted within
the fan module, the Oracle ILOM service processor detects that two fan
motors have failed to spin while the fan module is removed. If the fan module
is not replaced within 60 seconds of removal, Oracle ILOM will take the
protective action to shut down the system to prevent thermal damage to the
system.
If the cover is not installed within 60 seconds, the system may shutdown due
to over-temperature or a PCIe card may overheat, potentially damaging it.
Extend the server to the maintenance position.

Each fan module has a fan service action required status indicator (LED) that is
located next to the module. If the LED is amber, the fan has failed. The front Top
Fan LED and the front and back panel Fault-Service Required LEDs are also lit if
the system detects a fan module fault. The location of the fan status LED is shown
in the following figure.
