Installing a simple-swap fan
The server comes with two 120 mm x 38 mm simple-swap fans in the fan cage
assembly. The following instructions can be used to install any simple-swap fan in
the server.
Notes:
1. When you install the second microprocessor, you must also install fan 2 and the
air baffle that come with the second microprocessor upgrade kit. The fan filler
can only be removed when fan 2 is installed. Otherwise, the fan filler must be
installed for proper cooling.
2. You can order the three additional fans for redundant cooling.
To install a simple-swap fan, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 37.
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components
when the server is powered-on might cause the server to halt, which might
result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an
electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work
inside the server with the power on.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords
and all external cables.
3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the simple-swap fan to any
unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the fan from the package.
4. Unlock and remove the left-side cover (see “Removing the left-side cover” on
page 60).
5. Open the fan cage cover.
6. Perform the following steps only if you want to install the simple swap fan in
the Fan 2 compartment:
a. Unfasten and open the release lever (see “Removing the fan cage
assembly” on page 61).
b. Press and release the clip on the fan filler to remove the fan filler from the
server.
