Replacing hot-plug fans

The server supports redundant hot-plug fans ("Fan locations" on page

provide proper airflow to the server if a primary fan fails.

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.

IMPORTANT: Remove and replace one fan at a time. If the

system detects two fan failures in the same zone, the server shuts down
to avoid thermal damage.
