1. Halt the server and turn off all AC power:

• Turn the key switch on the Front Panel of the server to the Service position.
• Gracefully shutdown the server by running the ILOM command "stop /System" (requires Oracle ILOM Reset and Host Control (r) user role).
• Turn off all external breakers for the server.
• For maximum safety, disconnect all six power cords from their respective AC outlets.

2. Verify that it is safe to disconnect the faulty power cord:

• All six external breakers for the server must be in the Off position.
• All six power cords for this server must be unplugged from their respective AC outlets.
• No LEDs on the server should be lighted.

• Remove the Fan modules from the Upper Fan Cage Assembly by pressing the Green button to release the module and place them on a grounded mat.
• Loosen the 4 captive screws on the corners of the Fan Cage Assembly.
• Pull the Assembly until about 1 inch/25mm until it is free of the guide pin inside the slot.
• Pull the Assembly up about 15 degrees to clear the top of the scalability card cage.

• Insert the Fan Cage Assembly down at about 15 degrees to clear the scalability card cage.
• Push the assembly on to the 1 inch/25mm guide pin inside the slot.
• Tighten the 4 captive screws around the four corners.
• Insert the Fan modules into the Assembly.

6. Verify all six external breakers are still in the Off position.
