REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Fan Module failed

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

DAMAGE ALERT: Perform a visual inspection of the replacement part to make sure that there are no damaged components, connectors, bent pins, damaged packages during shipping, etc. If the part is damaged, don't install it into the system, order a new part. Handle with caution and package carefully the return part to avoid any damages during shipping.

NOTE: The server continues to operate at full capacity if one fan module is not operational. If the server is operating with four fan modules installed and one or more of those four fan modules fails, the server will power down to keep from overheating. You can perform a hot-service on a fan module only when four or more fan modules are operational.

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED:

Take ESD Precautions

Remove a Fan Module

The fan module is a hot-service component that can be replaced by a customer.

1. Locate the faulty fan module that you want to remove from the server.

2. Determine if you can remove the fan module with the server running or not.

If you can remove a fan module with the server running, go to Step 3.

If you cannot remove a fan module with the server running, refer to the T3-4 Service Guide on how to power down the server before continuing.

3. Press down on the middle portion of the fan lever and lower the lever slightly to disengage the fan latch.

4. Lower the fan lever completely and pull out on the fan module to remove the fan module from the system.

Install a Fan Module

1. Insert the fan module into the empty fan module slot.

2. Lift the fan lever up completely until the latch clicks into place to completely seat the fan module into the slot.

3. Power on the server, if necessary.

If you had to power off the server before removing and installing a new fan, refer to the T3-4 Service Guide on how to return the server to operation and also how to power on again.

4. Verify the fan module functionality.

Verify Fan Module Functionality

1. Check the front or rear panel LEDs for the following indications:

- Green System OK LED illuminated

- Amber System Fault LED not illuminated

- Amber System Fan Fault LED not illuminated

2. Run the ILOM show faulty command to check for faults.
If no faults are reported, then the fan module has been replaced successfully.

No further action is required.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

Verify functionality, no service LEDs or messages
