Replacing a fan

Replace a fan assembly, which is one of the server's hot-swappable components.

1. Remove the front bezel. The fan assemblies will then be visible.
2. Identify the fan to be replaced.

   Fans are labeled on the chassis, and are numbered 1 and 2, with fan 1 on the left and fan 2 on the right. Refer to the fan status LEDs on front panel of the server (behind the bezel) to see which fan has failed. In the following figure, number 1 indicates the status LED for fan 1 (the left-side fan), and number 2 indicates the status LED for fan 2 (the right-side fan).

3. Remove the faulty fan by loosening the thumbscrews (turning them counter-clockwise) until they are loose, then pulling the fan unit straight out of the chassis. (The fan lead connector disengages automatically as you remove the fan assembly.)
