Replacing System Fans
Five heavy-duty fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air through
the chassis as a means of lowering the chassis' internal temperature. The SC836
chassis includes three front fans and two rear fans.
SC836 chassis fans are fully hot-swappable. In other words, fans may be removed
and replaced without having to power down the server.
Replacing Fans
1. Open the chassis cover while it is running and locate the faulty fan. Never run
the server for an extended period of time with the chassis open.
1. Power down the system, remove the power cord from the rear of the power
supply and remove the chassis cover as described in Section 5-3.
2. Press the release tab on the fan and pull the fan upward.
3. Slide the new fan into the fan housing. Make sure the power connectors are
correctly aligned. The new fan will activate immediately.
