Remove a Fan Module
You do not have to power off the server to service the fan modules.
You should not begin this procedure unless you have a replacement fan and you are ready to
install it right away.
Caution -
When removing and replacing a fan module in the Oracle Server X6-2, you must
complete the entire procedure within 20 seconds to maintain adequate cooling within the
system. Remove and replace only one fan module at a time. Ensure that you have obtained the
replacement fan module and that is it is ready for installation before starting the replacement
procedure. Each fan module contains two fans, with two fan motors per fan. The four fan
motors provide separate tachometer signals so that the fan module reports four tach signals to
Oracle ILOM. Even if only one fan motor is faulted within the fan module, the Oracle ILOM
service processor detects that four fan motors have failed to spin while the fan module is
removed. If the fan module is not replaced within 20 seconds of removal, Oracle ILOM will
take the protective action to shut down the system to prevent thermal damage to the system.
1.
Extend the server to the maintenance position.
See
“Extend the Server to the Maintenance Position” on page 56
.
2.
To access the fan modules, open the server fan door.
See
“Open the Server Fan Door” on page 59
Caution -
Close the server fan door within 60 seconds to maintain adequate airflow to properly
cool the server. Leaving the door open for more than 60 seconds, while the server is running,
might cause the server to overheat and shut down.
3.
Identify the faulty fan module.
Each fan module has a status indicator (LED). If the LED is off, the fan is good. If the LED
is lit amber, the fan has failed. The LEDs are located on the chassis mid-wall adjacent to and
aligned with the fan modules, as shown in the following figure.
