System Fan Failure - Supero 2027R-WRF User Manual

Adding a System Fan
1. Turn off the power to the system and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the chassis cover then remove the dummy fan from the fan tray.
3. 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.
4. Connect the fan wires to the fan header on the serverboard.
5. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly before
replacing the chassis cover.

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. 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. Open the chassis while the system 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 power cord.
3. Remove the failed fan's wiring from the fan header on the serverboard.
4. Press the fan release tab to lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it
completely out of the chassis (Figure 6-2).
