Attention: Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the cover removed might damage server components.

5.Determine which fan to replace by checking the LEDs on the system board (see “System-board LEDs” on page 112); a lit LED indicates the fan to replace.

6.Turn off the server; then, disconnect the power cord again.
