Remove a Fan Module

---

Caution - If you are hot swapping this component, do not keep the fan tray access cover open for more than 60 seconds at a time on a running system to avoid overheating the system. Remove and replace only one fan module at a time.

Before You Begin

If you plan to completely power off the system by removing the AC power cords, be sure to note which fan module the Common Array Manager software has identified has faulted so you can identify it when you go to replace it. Once AC power has been removed from the system, the LED on the faulty fan module will not be illuminated.

1. Slide the chassis forward so that you can access the fan module door.

   Refer to Extend the Chassis to the Maintenance Position.

2. From the front of the system, open the fan module cover by pressing the two front latches and lifting the cover.

   Refer to Access Internal Components.

3. Identify the defective fan module(s).

   When the amber LED on the fan module is illuminated, the fan module is faulty and should be replaced.

4. Pull up on the fan module as shown in Removing a Fan Module until you remove the fan module from the system.

   Note - Be careful not to disconnect adjacent fans when removing the faulty fan.
