3. Insert the new Fan Module into the chassis within 60 seconds after removal of the faulty fan module.

Push down gently until the connector is fully engaged and the plastic securing buttons snap into place.

How to verify the Fan Module working properly.

log in ILOM to confirm if any error related Fan Module.
