Replacing a system fan

The system has five high-performance PWM fans to provide the
cooling for the system. Fan speed may be controlled by a setting in
BIOS (see Chapter 4).

To replace a fan module:

1

Perform the pre-installation instructions described on page 22.

Warning! The system fans become very hot when the system is on.
Allow it to cool off first before handling.

2

Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to
determine which of the fans has failed.

3

Remove the fan module.
(1) Disconnect the fan cable.
(2) Pull the fan up and away from the chassis.

4

Install the new fan module.
(1) To install a new fan module into FAN2, rotate the fan module

90 degrees.
