Note: The system fans are hot-swap and you can replace a failing system fan without turning off
the server.

2. Do the following to locate the failing system fan:

• If your server comes with an Intelligent Diagnostics Module Premium, you can view the system fan

error LEDs on the panel of the module to locate the failing system fan. See “Diagnostic module”
on page 21.

• If your server does not come with an Intelligent Diagnostics Module Premium, you can view the

system fan error LEDs on the system board to locate the failing system fan. See “System board
LEDs” on page 50
.

3. Grasp the top of the system fan with your index finger and thumb and then lift the system fan out of

the server.
