6-7 System Fans
Five heavy-duty fans provide cooling for the system. They can be replaced without
powering down the system.
Replacing a System Fan
1. If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which
fan requires changing. (Never run the server for an extended period of time
with the chassis open.)
2. Open the mid-chassis cover as described in Sections 6-3.
3. Press the fan release tab to lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it
completely out of the chassis.
4. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the
arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same direction
as the arrows on the other fans.
5. The fan will automatically begin running at the correct speed.
