Replacing a System Fan
Caution: The system fans are NOT hot swappable. Before removing or replacing a fan, you must first take the server out of service, turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system, turn off the system by pressing the power button, and unplug the AC power cord from the system or wall outlet.
Note: The fans that are integrated into the power supply cannot be replaced separately. If one of the fans in the power supply fails, the power supply must be replaced.
The system fans at the front of the Intel® Server System SR1500AL can be individually replaced if one of them fails. Use the steps below to replace either a dual rotor fan or a single rotor fan.
1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See “Safety Information”.
2.Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable(s).
3.Remove the server system cover. For instructions, see “Removing the System Cover”.
4.Disconnect the fan cable from the backplane (see letter “A”). Lift the failed fan from the module (see letter “B”).
