System Cooling Fans Do Not Rotate Properly

If the system cooling fans are not operating properly, system components will be damaged.

Note

The system has up to seven cooling fans⎯three of them are integral parts of the power supplies. There are no serviceable components in the power supply. If the power supply is opened, the warranty is voided.

Check the following:

Is AC power available at the wall outlets?

Are the system power cords properly connected to the system and the wall outlets?

If present, are the fuses in the system AC power cord plugs okay?

Did you press the power button?

Is the power-on light lit?

Have any of the fan motors stopped (use the server management subsystem to check the fan status)?

Are the fan power connectors properly connected to the system board?

Is the cable from the front panel board connected to the system board?

Are the power supply cables properly connected to the power share backplane?

Are the power share backplane cables properly connected to the system board?

Are there any shorted wires caused by pinched cables or power connector plugs forced into power connector sockets the wrong way?

If the switches and connections are correct and AC power is available at the wall outlets, contact your service representative or authorized dealer for assistance.
