Fans
Before performing the following procedure, read “Safety Notices” on page vii.
Removing a Processor Fan in a Non-Hot-Swap Environment
Note: A processor fan in a non-hot-swap environment means that your system is
configured at the factory with one processor fan installed. To put your system
into an environment that enables the hot-swapping of the processor fans, you
must purchase a second processor fan and insert it into the unused docking
connector. It is not necessary to shut down the system when adding the second
processor fan.
To remove a processor fan in a non-hot-swap environment, do the following:
1. On a Model 6C4, open the front and rear rack doors and put the system into the
service position as described in “Placing the Model 6C4 into the Service Position”
on page 53.
On a Model 6E4, open the bezel door.
2. If the system is not in the standby state, shut down the system as described in
“Stopping the System” on page 52.
