Installing a system fan module

About this task

Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 when performing this procedure, but ignore the directional arrow—since you will insert the module into the slot—rather than remove it.
Important: Handle the system fan carefully, and avoid damaging connectors.

Procedure

  1. Check for damage, especially to all module connectors.
  2. Align the system fan module for insertion into its slot, as shown in Figure 2
  3. Insert the system fan, and slide the module into the enclosure, taking care to support the base and weight of the module with both hands.
    Gently, but firmly, push the fan module into its fully seated position with its mating connector in the enclosure.
  4. Verify that the System Fan Status LED is off. Verify that the cooling fans are spinning with no fail states. Verify that the front panel LED states show no amber module faults.
  5. Repeat this procedure if replacing multiple fans. The replacement procedure should be completed within an absolute maximum of 2 minutes for this CRU module.
