Determining Fan Failure
Each fan uses an amber LED to indicate the failed fan. The LED for each fan illuminates only
when a fan fails. When an LED illuminates the associated fan should be replaced. To view the
LEDs:
1. See the warnings and cautions under Removing and Installing the Top Cover on page 126.
2. Follow the instructions under Removing the Top Cover.
3. Locate the fan bay. See Figure 52 for location information.
4. If a fan has failed, the LED for that fan will display an amber LED. See letter “A” in
Figure 59 for help in locating the LEDs.
5. To replace a failed fan, see Replacing a System Fan. If no fan has failed, follow the
instructions under Installing the Top Cover.
