Steps
1.
Collect support data for your storage array using ThinkSystem System Manager.

The file is saved in the Downloads folder for your browser with the name support-data.7z.
2.
From ThinkSystem System Manager, determine which fan canister has failed.

Select Hardware.

Look at the fan
icon to the right of the Shelf drop-down lists to determine which shelf
has the failed fan canister.
If a component has failed, this icon is red.
c.
When you find the shelf with a red icon, select Show back of shelf.
d.
Select either fan canister or the red fan icon.
e.
On the Fans tab, look at the statuses of the fan canisters to determine which fan canister
must be replaced.


If the second fan canister in the shelf does not have Optimal status, do
not attempt to hot-swap the failed fan canister. Instead, contact technical
support for assistance.
You can also find information about the failed fan canister in the Details area of the Recovery
Guru, or you can review the Event Log under Support and filter by Component Type.
