Identifying and Replacing Failed Fans
In the event that you have one or more fan failures, you can replace them. First, you must identify
which fan has failed. Then, once you know which fan it is, you need to figure out when you can
replace it.
n
The system does not need to be taken offline or powered down before replacing fans.
Before you begin, you must obtain replacement fans for your FastServe | Live Edit or FastServe |
Ingest server.
To identify and replace failed fans:
1. Observe the safety precautions described in “Electrostatic Discharge Precautions” on page 28
and “Safety and Regulatory Information”.
2. Identify which fan has failed by doing the following:
a. Connect to your IPMI console. For more information on using IPMI, see “Setting IPMI
Connection” on page 36 .
b. In the Dashboard, check the FAN status.
3. Remove the Fan (Front) cover on the FastServe | Live Edit or FastServe | Ingest server as
described in the Removing and Replacing the Server Main Cover topic.
The following is an example of Fans 1A/1B, 2A/2B, 3A/3B, 4A/4B, 5A/5B:
4. Remove the failed fan. Depending on which fan has failed, do one of the following:
a. Lift the appropriate failed fan out of the chassis.
b. Take the replacement fan, and line up the top and bottom of the fan with the guides, and push
it down into position.
