Remove a Fan Module
This is a hot-service procedure that can be performed by a customer while the server is running.
Caution - Do not remove a fan without installing a replacement fan to ensure adequate cooling
and maintain server availability.
1.
Prepare for servicing.
See “Preparing for Service” on page 33.
2.
Extend the server to the maintenance position.

might cause the server to overheat and shut down.
