Replacing a Cooling Fan

1 Align the fan module so that the side with the power cable faces toward

the back of the system.

2 Slide the fan module into the fan assembly until the fan is fully seated.

See Figure 3-15 and Figure 3-16.

3 Connect the fan’s power cable to the power connector on the system

board.

4 Route the power cable through the guides on the chassis.

NOTE:

For twelve–hard-drive systems, first replace the internal hard-drive

carrier and bay. See "Installing an Internal Hard Drive Bay" on page 101.

5 Replace the cooling shroud. See "Installing the Cooling Shroud" on

page 91.

6 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 89.
7 Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on,

including any attached peripherals.

Power Supplies

Your system supports the following power supply modules:

Systems with cabled hard drives support 480 W
(non-redundant power supply)

Systems with hot-swappable hard drives support 750 W/1100 W
(redundant power supply)

NOTE:

The maximum output power (shown in watts) is listed on the

power supply label.

If two power supplies are installed, the second power supply provides
hot-swappable, power redundancy. In redundant mode, the system
distributes the power load across both power supplies to maximize efficiency.
When a power supply is removed with the system powered on, the full power
load is picked up by the remaining power supply.

CAUTION:

To ensure proper system cooling, the power supply blank must

be installed in the PS2 bay in a redundant configuration. See "Installing the Power
Supply Blank" on page 112".
