Replacing system fans
This server contains six groups of hot-swappable, dual-rotor fans (seated in the
fan cage) and a fan board, which are located inside the chassis. These fans
maintain the ideal temperature for the system board, backplane, and disk drives.
If one fan fails, the speed of the other fans will increase. With the bad fan
replaced, the other fans may revert to normal speed.
To replace a fan group:
1
Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on
page 30 .
2
Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 31 .
3
Note which fan group is not working and therefore needs to be replaced.
Important
Make sure that the arrows on top of the
fans indicating airflow point to the back
of the chassis. The fan cable should exit
the fan module toward the back of the
chassis.

Disconnect the 6-pin fan tach cable from the fan board.
5
Lift the fan group from the fan cage in the chassis.
6
Insert the replacement fan group into the fan cage.
7
Connect the 6-pin fan tach cable from the fan to the fan board.
