5. To install a new fan, align it with the bay in the fan cage and push down firmly
and evenly on both top corners of the fan to engage it with the cage connector.
Caution – Ensure that the fan airflow direction is correct (front to rear) by installing
the fan so that the airflow direction arrow points towards the rear of the chassis.
After installing a new fan, allow sufficient time for the system to recognize the fan
and to determine whether it is functioning properly.
6. Before re-installing the cover on the server, check the routing of all cables for
obstructions.
