CAUTION:
Hazardous moving fan blades nearby.

Before installing a system fan, touch the static-protective package that contains the new system fan to any
unpainted surface on the outside of the server. Then, take the new system fan out of the package and place
it on a static-protective surface.

See “Technical rules for system fans” on page 85 before you install system fans.

To install a system fan, complete the following steps:

Watch the procedure
