5.Install the fan.

6.Be sure that the LED on the fan is green.

7.Reinstall the access panel.

8.Restore the server to its operating position in the rack.

CAUTION: Do not operate the server for extended periods without the access panel installed. Operating the server without the access panel results in improper airflow that can lead to thermal damage.

For information on hot-plug fan diagnosis, see “Hot-plug fans” in Chapter 4, “Server component identification.”
