Replacing Fan Modules
Each fan module contains two fans. See Figure 3-13 for the fan numbering.
You do not have to shut down or power off the system to replace fan modules because they are
hot-swappable. Do not operate the system with a fan module removed for more than one minute.
Tip Each fan module has a fault LED that lights amber if the fan module fails.
Step 1 Slide the system out the front of the rack far enough so that you can open the fan compartment cover.
Caution If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the system from the rack.
Step 2 Open the fan compartment cover as described in Opening the Main Chassis Top Covers, page 3-12.
Step 3 Remove the fan module:
a. Grasp the two latches on the top of the fan and pinch them toward the center.
b. Lift the fan module straight out of the bay.
Step 4 Install a new fan module:
Note The arrow on the fan module that indicates the air flow direction should point to the rear of the
system.
a. Align the fan module with the bay so that the connector on the bottom of the fan module is aligned
with the socket on the floor of the chassis.
b. Lower the fan module until it touches the socket, then push down firmly until the latch locks.
Step 5 Close the fan compartment cover and then push the system back into the rack.
