Install a Fan Module

Installing a fan module is a cold-service operation. You must power off the server before installing the fan module.

1. If not previously completed, perform the following:
   1. Prepare for service.

      See Preparing for Service.

   2. Power off the server that contains the fan module.

      See Removing Power From a Server.

   3. Remove the server to obtain access to internal components.

      See Accessing Internal Components.

2. Align the fan module to the location where it installs into the fan tray.

   The green band is on the top of the fan module, and the arrow points to the rear of the server.

3. Lower the fan module into the fan tray.
   
4. Press the fan module down until it clicks securely into the fan tray.
   
5. Repeat from Step 2 through Step 4 for any additional fan modules that you are installing.
6. If you installed a fan module as part of another component's removal or installation procedure, return to that procedure.

   See Component Service Task Reference for assistance.

7. Complete these postrequisites in this order to finish the installation procedure.
