IMPORTANT:
Data Center
You can have one failed fan per zone. The fans speed up to
compensate for the failed fan. If two fans fail in a given zone, you
have 30 seconds to replace the failed fan. Otherwise, the server
performs a soft shut down due to an overheat condition.
Office Friendly
You can have one failed fan rotor per zone in Zone 1 or Zone 3. The
fans speed up to compensate for the failed fan rotor. If you have
two rotors fail in Zone 1 or Zone 3, or one rotor fail in Zone 2, you
have 30 seconds to replace the failed fan. Otherwise, the server
performs a soft shut down due to an overheat condition.

When removing fans from an Office Friendly server, use two hands to squeeze the two
latches on the server fan (1). See
Figure 6-10

4.
Pull the fan straight up and out of the server (2).
CAUTION:
Be careful when removing fans. If you remove them while the server is receiving
power, keep your fingers away from the fan air intakes. The openings are large enough for
your fingers to contact moving fan blades. The fans are labeled as follows:
