Replacing Fans
The chassis contains eight 9-cm system fans that provide cooling for the system. All fans are
hot-swappable, so there is no need to power down the system when switching fans.
Changing a System Fan
1. If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which fan has
failed. (Never run the server for an extended period of time with the chassis cover
open).
2. Press the fan housing lever to unlock the fan from the bracket.
3. While applying pressure to fan housing lever, gently push the fan upwards from
underneath the fan housing to remove it.
4. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing. Apply pressure to the top of the
new fan to lock it into the fan housing. The new fan should 'click' into place.
