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:

1Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 28.

2Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 29.
