Replacing System Cooling Fans

1. Removing a fan
With the system powered down, fi rst remove the chassis cover (refer to page 6-7).
Grasp the failed fan unit and lift it out of the chassis. See Figure 6-3a and 6-3b.
2. Installing a new fan
Replace the failed fan with an identical 4-cm, 12 volt fan (available from Supermicro:
p/n FAN-0087). Push the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while mak-
ing sure the arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same
direction as the arrows on the other fans. Reposition the fan housing back over
the two mounting posts in the chassis, then reconnect the fan wires to the same
chassis fan headers you removed them from. Power up the system and check that
the fan is working properly and that the LED on the control panel has turned off.
Finish by replacing the chassis cover.
