Cisco UCS C240 M5 Service Manual

You do not have to shut down or remove power from the server to replace fan modules because they are
hot- swappable. However, to maintain proper cooling, do not operate the server for more than one minute
with any fan module removed.
Caution
Step 1
Remove an existing fan module:
a) Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach
cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.
If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the
rack.
Caution
b) Remove the top cover from the server as described in Removing the Server Top Cover, on page 41.
c) Grasp and squeeze the fan module release latches on its top. Lift straight up to disengage its connector from the
motherboard.
Step 2
Install a new fan module:
a) Set the new fan module in place. The arrow printed on the top of the fan module should point toward the rear of the
server.
b) Press down gently on the fan module to fully engage it with the connector on the motherboard.
c) Replace the top cover to the server.
d) Replace the server in the rack, replace cables, and then fully power on the server by pressing the Power button.
