6-6 Cooling System
The SC418 chassis contains four 9-cm system fans that provide cooling for the
chassis and three 8-cm exhaust fans at the rear of the chassis for expelling hot
air. All fans are hot-swappable, there is no need to power down the system when
replacing fans.
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 cover open).
2. Remove the failed fan's power cord from the serverboard.
3. Lift the fan housing up and out of the chassis.
4. Gently push the fan upwards from underneath the fan housing to remove it.
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
direction as the arrows on the other fans. Make sure that all four of the fan's
rubber feet are in place.
6. Place the fan housing back in the chassis.
7. Reconnect the fan wiring.
8. Con fi rm that the fan is working properly before replacing the chassis cover.
