Replacing a system fan

The system has four high-performance PWM fans to provide the
cooling for the system. Fan speed may be controlled by a setting in
BIOS (see Chapter 4).

To replace a fan module:

1

Perform the pre-installation instructions described on page 26.

Warning! The system fan becomes very hot when the system is on.
Allow it to cool off first before handling.

2

Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to
determine which of the fans has failed.
