Replacing system fans

This server contains two system fans seated in a fan cage on the fan board. These fans maintain
the ideal temperature for the system board, backplane, and disk drives. If one fan fails, the speed
of the other fan increases. After the failed fan is replaced, the other fan may revert to its normal
speed.

To replace a system fan:

1

Follow the instructions in

“Opening the server case” on page 25

, but do not turn off the

server.

2

Determine which fan needs to be replaced by noting which fan has an orange LED turned on.

Caution

Make sure that you only plug a PCI-X expansion card into the PCI-X slot.

Plugging a PCI-X expansion card into a PCI slot may damage the PCI-X card.

Important

The hard drive carriers shown in these illustrations may look different than the actual

hard drive carriers in your server.

Important

The system fans are hot-swappable and can be replaced without turning off your

server.
