- Identify the faulted fan module and then, using your thumb and forefinger on both sides of the fan module tab, gently lift the fan module from the fan compartment.
Each fan module has a status indicator (LED). If the LED is off, the fan is operational. If the LED is lit amber, the fan has faulted. The LEDs are located on the chassis mid-wall, adjacent to and aligned with the fan modules.
