Fans

The server contains six hot-pluggable fans to keep the internal temperature
down to acceptable levels.

Replacing the fans

The fans are located between the electronics bay and the drive bays. The fans
are hot-plug capable so you do not need shut down the server to replace a fan.

To replace a fan:

1

Remove the back top panel. (See “Removing the back top panel” on
page 28 and “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page
25.)

2

Determine which fan has failed by looking at the fan status LEDs in the
fan tray.
