WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:
1. Power off the server as described in Powering Off the Server.

2. If the server is in a rack, slide it far enough from the rack so that you can open the fan bay door. If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the rack.

3. Open the fan bay door and hold it open. See Opening the Fan Bay Door and Removing a Fan Module.

4. Remove the three fan modules that are connected to the fan connector board you are replacing. Grasp each fan module by its plastic strap and lift it straight up out of the fan bay.

5. Visibly inspect the remaining fans and all air openings for dirt, and clean if necessary.

6. Unfasten the single screw that secures the fan connector board to the chassis.

7. Slide the fan connector board toward the center of the chassis to disconnect it from the front I/O board and to release it from the two locating tabs on the chassis.

8. Lift the board straight up to remove it from the system.

9. Installation is the reverse of this procedure.
