6-6 System Fans
Six fans provide cooling for the chassis (Figure 6-3). These fans circulate air through
the chassis as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature. The SC808
system fans are hot-swappable. There is no need to power-down the system when
switching fans.

Changing a System Fan (Figure 6-4)
1. If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which
fan has failed. (Never run the server for an extended period of time with the
chassis open.)
2. Remove the failed fan's power cord from the serverboard.
3. Lift the fan from the chassis.
4. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure
the arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same
direction as the arrows on the other fans. Make sure all four of the fan's
rubber feet are in place.
5. Confi rm that the fan is working properly before replacing the chassis cover.
