Use this information to replace a thermal kit (hot-swap fan)
About this task
The server comes standard with four dual-motor hot-swap cooling fans. When
there is one microprocessor installed, install fan 1, 2, 3, and 5 for proper cooling.
Attention: To ensure proper operation, replace a failed hot-swap fan within 30
seconds.
To replace a hot-swap fan, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Read the safety information that begins on “Safety” on page vii and
“Installation guidelines” on page 122.
2. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 126).
3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new fan to any unpainted
metal surface on the server. Then, remove the new fan from the package.
4. Orient the fan over the fan slot in the fan assembly bracket so that the fan
connector aligns with the connector on the system board.
5. Insert the fan into the fan slot in the fan assembly bracket and press it down
until it is seated correctly in the slot and the fan connector is installed correctly
to the connector on the system board.
