Remove a Fan Module (CMIOU Chassis)
Caution - This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. This discharge can cause server components to fail. When you unpack the
replacement part, open the package on a grounded antistatic mat. Always use an antistatic wrist
strap for hardware replacements.
1.
Determine which fan module requires service.
See “Identify Faulted Components” on page 36 and “Fan LEDs (CMIOU
Chassis)” on page 180.
2.
Take the necessary ESD precautions.
See “Prevent ESD Damage” on page 61.
3.
Remove the fan module.
You can remove a fan with the server running only if one fan module is faulty and if you have
a replacement fan module. If more than one module is faulty, and the server is running, it
will continue operating until a defined temperature is exceeded, at which point the server will
perform a graceful shutdown.
a.
Push the green button on the handle of the fan module to disengage the fan
latch (panel 1).
b.
Slide the fan module out to remove it from the server (panel 2).
