Replacing system fans
This server contains two system fans seated in a fan cage on the fan board. These
fans maintain the ideal temperature for the system board, backplane, and disk
drives. If one fan fails, the speed of the other fan increases. After the failed fan
is replaced, the other fan may revert to its normal speed.
Important
The hard drive carriers shown in these
illustrations may look different than the
actual hard drive carriers in your server.
Important
The system fans are hot-swappable and
can be replaced without turning off your
server.
To replace a system fan:
1
Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 29 , but do
not turn off the server.
2
Determine which fan needs to be replaced by noting which fan has an
orange LED turned on.
3
Squeeze the two clips on the sides of the fan (1) together to release it, then
lift it out of the fan cage.
4
Insert the replacement fan into the fan cage until it clicks into place.
5
Follow the instructions in “Closing the server case” on page 30 .
