Hot-Plug System Fans
The ProLiant ML570 server fans are housed in two system fan baskets. Each basket holds a
primary and a redundant hot-plug system fan. The hot-plug system fans cool the system board
components (I/O fans) and the processors (CPU fans).
CAUTION: Never remove BOTH fans from the system fan baskets while the server is powered
up. Overheating and damage to hardware could result. If the appropriate Compaq software
drivers are installed, the operating system software initiates a power shutdown in case of
overheating.
To remove a hot-plug system fan:
1. Perform the preparation procedures. See “Preparation Procedures” earlier in this chapter.
2. Remove the access panel. See “Access Panel (Tower and Rack)” earlier in this chapter.
3. Press and hold the locking latches  , then lift the hot-plug system fan  out of the system
fan basket.
