System Cooling
Three 8-cm fans provide the cooling for the system. Make sure the chassis top cover makes
a good seal so the cooling air circulates properly through the chassis.
Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via BMC. If a fan fails, the remaining fans will
ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on the control panel will turn on. Replace
any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can
continue to run with a failed fan).
Changing a System Fan
1. Determine which fan is failing. If possible, use the BMC. Remove the chassis lid to
examine the fans.
2. Push the release latch, and lift the fan up from the housing and out of the chassis.
3. Push the fan up from the bottom and out of the top of the housing.
4. Place the replacement fan into the vacant space in the housing while checking the
proper orientation. Push the until the latch clicks and the fan is secure.
