Removing a Fan Assembly
Complete the following steps to remove a fan assembly from the chassis.
1. Before removing a fan assembly, refer to Precautions Specific to Fan Assemblies to verify whether you can remove
the power supply and leave the chassis operating (hot-swap replacement).
2. Perform one of the following steps:
•
If you need to power down the chassis to remove a fan assembly, enter the sysShutdown command. When
command output indicates the chassis has completed shut-down, remove power cords from all power supply
assemblies.
•
If you can hot-swap the fan assembly, go on to the next step.
NOTE
Replace fan as soon as possible to avoid overheating and eventual system shutdown.
3. Loosen the captive screw at each end of the fan assembly until the screw releases from the chassis. Use a No. 1
Phillips screwdriver if necessary.
4. Grasp the handle and pull, sliding the fan assembly from the chassis while supporting the fan assembly from beneath
as you remove it.
