HotSwap Chassis Fan Replacement
The power to the server does not have to be off to remove or replace a HotSwap Chassis fan. Fan number 0 is
located in the front of the server and fan number 1 is located at the rear of the server.
To replace a fan, perform the following steps:
1. Orient the fan assembly to ensure that the chassis outlet connects with the fan assembly. If the fan power
connector is covered by the protective cover (see item 1 in the graphic), slide it down to remove it and slide
it over the power connection on the other side of the fan. Push the fan firmly into the housing. The fan
assembly will plug into the electrical outlet automatically.
2. Check the LED located on the fan.
•
When the fan is functioning normally, the LED is OFF.
•
When the fan fails, the LED is ON.
NOTE
when one fan has failed (or is removed from the server), the system automatically puts the
remaining fan into high speed mode. The noise level of the server will increase.
3. Replace the HotSwap Chassis fan cover.
