System Fans
The chassis contains four 8-cm high-performance fans.
Replacing a System Fan
Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via IPMI. If a fan fails, the remaining fan will
ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on the control panel will turn on. Replace
any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can
continue to run with a failed fan).
Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to determine which of the
fans has failed. Please do not try to reach into the vicinity of fan blades even when the fan is
not installed throughout the swapping process. Failing to do so may result in serious injury.
Replacing System Fans
1. After removing the top chassis cover, locate the failed fan.
2. Press the fan release tab to lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it upwards from
the chassis completely.
3. Install the new fan housing into the vacant space while making sure the arrows (air flow
direction) on the top of the fan housing point in the same direction as the arrows on the
other fans. Press firmly on the top of the fan until a snap is felt.
4. Check that the fan is working properly before replacing the chassis cover.
Air Shroud
Cooling is also improved by installing the standard air shroud. Insert it over the CPUs.
