The server has four system fans located on the chassis’ center wall.
The figure below identifies the system fans by their device number and shows their corresponding
cable connections.
Figure 54 System fan connections
Device number Connector
System fan 1 P8 on the system board
System fan 2 P4 on the system board
System fan 3 P22 on the system board
System fan 4 P21 on the system board
System fans 1 to 3 are for the memory modules and processors, while system fan 4 is for the PCI slots and system
chipsets.
A new system fan can be installed to allow the server to operate properly in case a default system fan
becomes defective.
To remove the system fan:
1. Disconnect the fan cable from its corresponding board connector.
2. Release the fan cable from the cable clip securing it to the chassis partition wall.
3. Squeeze the release tab on the system fan to release it from the chassis.
4. Lift the system fan away from the chassis.
