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). 8. Slide the server into the rack. Operations 30
