Figure 4-13. Installing the Fan Tray into the Chassis
The SC113M chassis includes four pre-installed fans. Two additional open slots are
available so that up to two more fans may be added.
Replacing a System Fan
1. If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which
fan has failed. Never run the server for an extended period of time with the
chassis open.
2. Power down the system and remove the power cord from the rear of the
power supply as described in Section 4-2. Open the chassis cover as de-
scribed in Section 4-3.
3. Remove the failed fan's power cord from the serverboard.
4. Unscrew the fan tray from the chassis and push the failed fan from the up
from the bottom of the tray.
5. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the
arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same direc-
tion as the arrows on the other fans.
6. Reconnect the fan wires to the exact same chassis fan headers as the previ-
ous fan.
7. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly before re-
placing the chassis cover.
