1.If the operating system (OS) is running, perform a shutdown of the OS, and then press and release the platform power button on the front panel.
2.Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.
3.Disconnect the AC power on the back panel of the server.
4.Label and disconnect all peripheral cables and all telecommunication lines connected to I/O connectors or ports on the back panel of the system.
5.Before handling components, attach a wrist strap to a chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface).
6.Loosen the two captive screws securing the cover to the chassis
7.Pull the cover slightly toward the back of the server and then straight up to remove it.
8. Lift the cover and remove it.

Note - Note exactly which motherboard connector to which the fan was connected. If you connect a fan to an incorrect connector, the SP cannot correctly identify a fan failure.

Removing the Fans

1. Identify the Fan Module which requires replacement

2. Push the fan module forward in the direction of the arrows and simultaneously pull the fan upward.

3. Unplug the fan's power connector from the SATA backplane

Installing the Fans

1.Position the fan so that the arrow on top of the fan casing is facing the middle chassis divider.

2.Place the fan in the chassis so that it fits over the small guideposts.

3.Gently push the fan down to secure it to the chassis.

4.Connect the fan connector to the appropriate connector on the SATA backplane.

5.Check the routing of all cables for obstructions, and then install the cover.

How to verify the Fan Module working properly.

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

SP -> show -l all /SP/SystemInfo/Fan/Fanx
note:the "x" means which Fan Module number your replaced

Sample:

SP -> show -l all /SP/SystemInfo/Fan/Fan1

  /SP/SystemInfo/Fan/Fan1
    Targets:

    Properties:
        Designation = Blower Fan 0
        Status = ok
        LowerNonCriticalThreshold = 0.000
        LowerCriticalThreshold = 784.000
        SensorReading = 3802.400


SP -> show /SP/AgentInfo/SEL
