Replacing a fan
The pictures in this procedure show the hot-swap bay fan. All case fans can be
replaced in the same manner.
To replace a fan:
1
Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on
page 27 .
2
Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 28 .
3
Unplug the fan from the system board.

While pressing the locking clip, slide the fan away from the system board,
then pull it away from the case.
Important Make sure that you replace a fan with an identical
replacement fan. The arrow on each fan indicates the
direction of its air flow, and the arrow should point toward
the rear of the case.
