Replacing a rear fan
Complete the following steps to replace rear fan 1 or 2:
1. Review the information in “Safety” on page v, “Installation Guidelines” on page 9,
and “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 10.
2. Pull out on the orange fan-release latch on the rear fan bracket; then, lift the fan
up and out of the hinge cutouts.
3. Touch an unpainted metal part of the server for at least 2 seconds; then, slide
the replacement fan into the server. (Make sure that the fan fits correctly into
the hinge cutouts on the rear of the server.)
4. When you have the fan properly seated, push on the fan-release latch until it
clicks into place.
5. Verify that the FAN LED on the diagnostic LED panel (see the Hardware
Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide on the IBM xSeries
Documentation CD) is not lit. If the FAN LED is lit, reseat the fan.
Replacing the battery
IBM has designed this product with your safety in mind. The lithium battery must be
handled correctly to avoid possible danger. If you replace the battery, you must
adhere to the following instructions.

If you replace the original lithium battery with a heavy-metal battery or a battery with
heavy-metal components, be aware of the following environmental consideration.
Batteries and accumulators that contain heavy metals must not be disposed of with
normal domestic waste. They will be taken back free of charge by the manufacturer,
distributor, or representative, to be recycled or disposed of in a proper manner.

Note: After you replace the battery, you must reconfigure your server and reset the
system date and time.
