    1. Align the fan module and slide it into the fan slot (panel 1).

      Note -  Fan modules are keyed to ensure that they are installed in the correct orientation.

      Ensure that the cables threaded between the two middle fan modules are not caught.

    2. Apply firm pressure to fully seat the fan module.

      You will hear a click when the fan modue is properly seated.

    3. Tighten the green screw to hold the fan module in place (panel 2).

      This screw should only be finger tight. Do not use a screwdriver to tighten it.

  4. If the server is powered during this procedure, verify the new fan module.

    See Verify a Fan Module.

  5. Close the fan door.

    Press down until the latches engage.

  6. Return the Server to Operation.
  7. When the server is powered, verify the new fan module. See Verify a Fan Module.
