Hot-Plug System Fans
Compaq ProLiant ML530 servers have two system fan baskets, one for the I/O fan and one for
the CPU fan. Each basket can hold a primary and a redundant hot-plug system fan. The hot-plug
system fans cool the system board components (I/O fan) and the processors (CPU fan).
CAUTION: Never remove both fans from one system fan basket while the server is powered
up. Overheating and damage to hardware could result. If the appropriate Compaq software
drivers are installed, the operating system software will initiate a power shutdown in the event
of overheating.
To remove a hot-plug system fan:
1. Perform the preparation procedures. See Hot-Pluggable Device earlier in this chapter.
2. Remove the access panel. See Access Panel earlier in this chapter.
3. Press the locking latch in and lift the failed hot-plug system fan out of the system fan
basket
