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:
1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 28.
2 Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 29.
3 Note which fan group is not working and therefore needs to be replaced.
4 Disconnect the 6-pin fan tach cable from the fan board.
5 Lift the fan group from the fan cage in the chassis.
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.
