System Fans
Four hot-swap fans provide cooling. They can be replaced without powering down the system.
However, failed fans should be replaced quickly to maintain proper system airflow.
Fan speed is controlled by a system temperature setting in IPMI. If a fan fails, the remaining
fans will ramp up to full speed. The system can continue to run with a failed fan. Replace
any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model.
Note:
For system fan operation the following hardware is required: GPU Baseboard module,
PCIe transition board, fan board, motherboard, PSUs, and cabling.
Figure 3-11. Removing System Fans
Changing a System Fan
1. Determine which fan is failing. If possible, use IPMI. If not, while the power is on,
examine the fans to determine which one has failed.
2. Remove the failed fan from the chassis by squeezing together the two tabs on either
side then pulling it out from the chassis.
3.
Replace the fan with a new one, making sure it is within specifications.
