Replacing a fan
The pictures in this procedure show the hot-swap bay fan. All case fans can be
replaced in the same manner.
To replace a fan:
1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on
page 27.
2 Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 28.
3 Unplug the fan from the system board.
4 While pressing the locking clip, slide the fan away from the system board,
then pull it away from the case.
Important Make sure that you replace a fan with an identical
replacement fan. The arrow on each fan indicates the
direction of its air flow, and the arrow should point toward
the rear of the case.
