Fans
The system contains up to three fans and two blowers for cooling and
airflow.
•
Located in the system board side of the system: some configurations
may have up to two fans and two blowers.
•
Located in the power supply side of the system: configurations with
only one or two power supplies also have a fan on the rear bulkhead.
Configurations with three supplies do not have this fan. The fans
integrated in the power supplies provide sufficient cooling and airflow.
Replace a failed fan with the same type, 92 mm with a tachometer signal, or
an approved fan. Replace a failed blower with the same type. See
Chapter 9, “I/O Ports and Connectors.” Contact your sales representative
or dealer for a list of approved fans and blowers.
Removing a Front Panel Fan
See Figures 4-21 and 4-22.
1. Observe the warnings and cautions on page 3, “Safety Guidelines.”
2. Remove the left side cover (page 80).

cable connector from the fan header, Fan 3 or Fan 4, on the system
board.

toward the fan until you can pull the tab through the slot in the chassis.
