Fans

The server contains six hot-pluggable fans to keep the internal temperature down to acceptable levels.

Replacing the fans

The fans are located between the electronics bay and the drive bays. The fans are hot-plug capable so you do not need shut down the server to replace a fan.

To replace a fan:

1Remove the back top panel. (See “Removing the back top panel” on page 28 and “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 25.)

2Determine which fan has failed by looking at the fan status LEDs in the fan tray.
