Replacing system fans

This server contains six groups of hot-swappable, dual-rotor fans (seated in the fan cage) and a

fan board, which are located inside the chassis. These fans maintain the ideal temperature for

the system board, backplane, and disk drives. If one fan fails, the speed of the other fans will

increase. With the bad fan replaced, the other fans may revert to normal speed.

To replace a fan group:

Follow the instructions in

“Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 28

Follow the instructions in

“Opening the server case” on page 29

Note which fan group is not working and therefore needs to be replaced.

Disconnect the 6-pin fan tach cable from the fan board.

Lift the fan group from the fan cage in the chassis.

Insert the replacement fan group into the fan cage.

Connect the 6-pin fan tach cable from the fan to the fan board.

Follow the instructions in

“Closing the server case” on page 30

Important

Make sure that the arrows on top of the fans indicating airflow point to the

back of the chassis. The fan cable should exit the fan module toward the back of

the chassis.
