Cooling Fans
Your system contains six hot-swappable fans mounted in a fan assembly and
provides cooling for the processors, expansion cards, and memory modules.
NOTE:
In the event of a problem with a particular fan, the fan number is referenced
by the system’s management software, allowing you to easily identify and replace
the proper fan by noting the fan numbers on the cooling fan assembly.

Opening or removing the system cover when the system is on may
expose you to a risk of electric shock. Exercise utmost care while removing or
