Release Tab
Three heavy duty fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air
through the chassis as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature. The
SC216 fans are hot-swappable, enabling the fans to be replaced without powering
-down the system.
Replacing a System Fan
If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which 1.
fan requires changing. (Never run the server for an extended period of time
with the chassis open.)
Press the fan release tab to lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it 2.
completely out of the chassis.
Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the 3.
arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same direc-
tion as the arrows on the other fans.
The fan will automatically begin running at the correct speed.4.
