Removing and Installing a Rear Panel Hot-Swappable Fan
Figure 3-8 Removing a Rear Panel Hot-Swap Fan
To remove and install the hot-swap fan from the rear of the server chassis, follow these steps:
NOTE: The server does not need to be removed from the rack for fan replacement.
1. Use the ACX-15 Torx screwdriver to loosen the two captive mounting screws that secure
the fan unit to the server chassis (Figure 3-8).
CAUTION: Hot-swapping a fan can interrupt system operation. If you are hot-swapping
a fan assembly and the system is operating normally, hot-swapping the fan in less than 30
seconds eliminates the requirement for a system reboot. Hot-swapping the fan in less than
two minutes enables continued operation and prevents automatic shutdown.
2. Pull the fan assembly from the server chassis by pulling the curved handle.
3. Orient the replacement fan assembly so that the curved handle is at the bottom. Gently push
the fan unit into position.
