CAUTION: 
Hazardous moving fan blades nearby. Keep fingers and other body parts away.
Attention: 
•  Read 
“Installation Guidelines” on page 47 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 48 to ensure that you 
work safely.
•  Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static- 
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with 
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
•  When installing a hot-swap fan without powering off the server, do not touch the system fan cage. With 
power on, complete the replacement within 30 seconds to ensure proper operation.
Procedure
Step 1.  Touch the static-protective package that contains the new part to any unpainted surface on the 
outside of the server. Then, take the new part out of the package and place it on a static-protective 
surface.
Step 2.  Position the system fan above the system fan cage. The system fan connector on the bottom of the 
system fan should face the rear of the chassis. Press the system fan straight down until it is seated 
into place.
