Removing and Replacing the System Fans
This section explains how to remove and replace the system fans. There are four fans
(not including the processor’s turbo fan or fans) that keep the system cool when it is
running. See Figure 2-42. Please note that the system fan modules are hot-swappable,
which means you can replace a fan module while the system is running.
If one of the system’s fan modules fails, refer to the section “Troubleshooting with the
Systems LEDs and e-buzzer” in the chapter “Troubleshooting” in this document.
CAUTION When the system is running, the system’s metal cover must be replaced within four
minutes to prevent overheating of the system components.
Please note the fans shown in the removal procedure of this section are the fans used for
the rx2600 rack and tower systems and for the zx6000 rack system. Figure 2-44 shows
how to remove fans 1A, 1B and 2 for a zx6000 tower system. The removal of fan 3 for all
systems is the same.
