Chapter 4 Chassis Setup and Maintenance
Seven hot-swappable, heavy-duty fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans
circulate air through the chassis thereby lowering the chassis internal temperature.
The SC847DJ chassis is designed with the option to remove individual fans or to
remove the entire fan housing.
4-9 System Fans
Replacing an Inidvidual System Fan (Hot Swap Method)
1. Remove the main chassis cover (page 4-3) while the power is running to
determine which fan has failed. (Never run the server for an extended period
of time with the chassis top covers off).
2. Remove the failed fan from the housing by simultaneously pressing both of
the fan's release tabs.
CAUTION: Fans will continue to rotate for a brief time after removing them
from the chassis. To avoid injury, keep fingers clear of the rotating fan blades.
3. Lift the failed fan up and out of the fan housing.
4. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the
arrows on the top of the fan (indicating airflow direction) point in the same
direction as the arrows on the other fans.
5. Power up the system as described on page 4-2 and check that the fan is
working properly before replacing the chassis cover as described on page
4-3.
