SUPERSERVER 1027R-N3RF USER'S MANUAL
System Fan Failure
Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via IPMI software. 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).
The SC116 chassis includes fi ve pre-installed fans. One additional open slot is
available so that one more fan may be added if additional cooling is required.
Replacing a System Fan (Figure 6-3)
1. If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which
fan has failed. Never run the server for an extended period of time with the
chassis open.
2. Turn off the power to the system and unplug the system from the outlet.
3. Remove the failed fan's power cord from the serverboard.
4. Lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it completely out from the
serverboard.
5. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing 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.
6. Reconnect the fan wires to the exact same chassis fan headers as the
previous fan.
7. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly before
replacing the chassis cover.
