Operations 30
Hot-plug fans
The server supports redundant hot-plug fans (" Fan locations " on page 18 ) in a 5+1 configuration to
provide proper airflow to the server.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury from hazardous energy:
• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Do not place tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
To replace a hot-plug fan:
1. Extend the server from the rack (" Extending the server from the rack " on page 27 ).
2. Remove the access panel (" Removing the access panel " on page 28 ).
3. Identify the failed fan by locating an amber LED on top of the failed fan (" Hot-plug fan LEDs " on
page 19 ) or on the Systems Insight Display (" Systems Insight Display LEDs " on page 16 ).
4. Remove the malfunctioning hot-plug fan from the server.
IMPORTANT: Remove and replace one fan at a time. If the system detects two fan failures, the
server shuts down to avoid thermal damage.
5. Install a new hot-plug fan.
6. Observe the LED on each installed fan to be sure it is illuminated green (" Hot-plug fan LEDs " on
page 19 ).
NOTE: If the front panel internal system health LED is not green after you install hot-plug fans,
reseat the hot-plug fan or refer to the troubleshooting section.
7. Replace the access panel (" Removing the access panel " on page 28 ).
