1. The replacement fan comes with the rubber grommets installed, however they
may have come out during shipment. If any of the rubber grommets are missing
from the fan install them on the fan before continuing. Use needle-nosed pliers
to pull the grommets through the holes in the fan.
2. Position the fan so that the grommets protrude through the holes in the chassis;
then, use needle-nosed pliers to pull the grommets through the holes from
outside the chassis.
3. Connect the fan cable to the system board (see “System-board internal
connectors” on page 9 for the location of the rear fan connector).
4. Install any adapters that were removed (see “Installing an adapter” on page 84).
5. Install the side cover (see “Installing the side cover” on page 78).
6. Lock the side cover if it was unlocked during removal.
7. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the attached
devices and turn on the server.
