System Fan Failure
If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan
fail LED on the control panel will blink on and off. Replace any failed fan at your
earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to
run with a failed fan).

Remove the chassis cover to see which fan has failed.1.
Power down the server and remove the AC power cord.2.
Detach the fan wiring then grasp the failed fan unit and lift it out of the 3.
chassis.
Replace the failed fan with an identical 4-cm, 12 volt fan (see Appendix C).4.
Push the new fan into the vacant space in the housing making sure the 5.
arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same
direction as the arrows on the other fans.
Reposition the fan housing back over the two mounting posts in the chassis, 6.
then reconnect the fan wires to the same chassis fan headers you removed
them from.
Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly and that 7.
the LED on the control panel has turned off. Finish by replacing the chassis
cover.
