b. Align the fan module to the open fan tray slot in the chassis, and press the module all the way into
the slot until the left and right latches click and are locked on the chassis.
c. If the chassis is powered on, listen for the sound of the fans in operation. You should immediately
hear them in operation. If you do not hear them, ensure that the fan module is inserted completely in
the chassis.
During the fan module replacement, the other fans adjust their speed to allow for proper initialization of the
new module. When you insert a new fan module, the fans may run at lower or higher speeds for a few minutes.
Note
d. Verify that the fan module LED turns amber. If the LED is not green, one or more fans are faulty. If
this situation occurs, contact your customer service representative for replacement parts.
