FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :
Fan modules are hot-swappable and can be replaced while the server is running without affecting the rest of the server’s capabilities.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:
Removing a Fan Module
1. Extend the server into the maintenance position.
2. Unlatch the fan module door: Pull the release tabs back to release the door. Open the top cover toward the rear of the server.
3. Identify the faulty fan module with a corresponding Service Required LED: The Fan Fault LEDs are located on the fan board.
4. Using thumb and forefinger in between the two fans, pull the fan module up and out of the connector.
Caution - When changing the fan modules, note that only the fan modules can be removed or replaced. Do not service any other components in the fan compartment unless the system is shut down and the power cords are removed.

Installing a Fan Module
1. With the top cover door open, install the replacement fan module into the server: The fan modules are keyed to ensure that they are installed in the correct orientation.
2. Apply firm pressure to fully seat the fan module.
3. Verify that the Fan OK LED is lit, and that the Fan Fault LED on the replaced fan module is not lit.
4. Close the top cover door.
5. Verify that the Top Fan LED, Service Required LEDs, and the Locator LED/Locator button are not lit.

Note - Close the top cover door immediately after replacing the fan to maintain airflow in 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.
