This is a hot-service procedure that can be performed by a customer while the server is running.
Caution - Do not remove a fan without installing a replacement fan to ensure adequate cooling and maintain server availability. |
Caution - Close the server fan door within 60 seconds to maintain adequate airflow to properly cool the server. Leaving the door open for more than 60 seconds, while the server is running, might cause the server to overheat and shut down. |
See Fan Module LEDs.
Caution - When removing a fan module, do not rock it back and forth. Rocking a fan module can cause damage to the motherboard connectors. |
Caution - Do not service any other components in the fan compartment unless the system is shut down and the power cords are removed. |
If you removed the fan assembly as part of another procedure, return to that procedure.
Otherwise, continue to Install a Fan Module.
