System Fans
Five heavy-duty fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air through the
chassis as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature. The SC227TS fans are
hot-swappable, enabling the fans to be replaced without powering down the system.
Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via BMC. If a fan fails, the remaining fans
will ramp up to full speed. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same
type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan).
Replacing a System Fan
1. While the power is running to determine which fan needs to be replaced (Never run the
server for an extended period of time with the cover(s) open.)
2. Open the chassis covers as described in Section 3-2.
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 chassis 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.
5. The fan will automatically begin running at the correct speed.
