Troubleshooting a Cooling Fan

Three cooling fans are installed in the system chassis. (Fan 1 is the outermost fan in the fan assembly.) If you observe that one of the cooling fans is not
operating or if the server management application issues a fan-related error message, perform the following steps to troubleshoot the problem:

WARNING: The power supply is heavy. Support it with both hands when installing or removing it.

WARNING: See "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the safety instructions in your System Information document.

NOTE: The power supply will not function until the latch is engaged.
