The fans in the system are redundant, hot-plug.
Replacing System Fans
Removing a Fan
1. Remove the chassis cover.
2. Press the tabs on the sides of the fan to unlock and remove the fan and its
housing. The fan's power connections will automatically detach.
3. System power does not need to be shut down since the fans are hot-
pluggable.
Installing a New Fan
1. Replace the failed fan with an identical 8-cm, 12-volt fan (available from
Supermicro).
2. Position the new fan into the space vacated by the failed fan previously
removed. A "click" can be heard when the fan is fully installed in place and
the power connections are made.
3. If the system power is on, the hot-plug feature will cause the fan to start
immediately upon being connected to its header on the serverboard.
