Changing a System Fan

2.Remove the failed fan's power cord from the backplane.

3.Lift the fan housing up and out of the chassis.

4.Push the fan up from the bottom and out of the top of the housing.

5.Place the replacement fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same direction as the arrows on the other fans.

6.Put the fan back into the chassis and reconnect the cable.

7.Confirm that the fan is working properly before replacing the chassis cover.
