Installing a hot-swap fan assembly
The server comes standard with five dual-motor hot-swap cooling fans.
Attention: To ensure proper operation, replace a failed hot-swap fan within 30
seconds.
To install an additional hot-swap fan, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 167.
2. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 174).
3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new fan to any unpainted
metal surface on the server. Then, remove the new fan from the package.
