Follow the procedure listed in After working inside your system.

Cooling fans

Cooling fans are integrated into the system to dissipate the heat generated by the system. These fans provide cooling for the

processors, expansion cards, and memory modules.

Your system supports up to six high performance hot swappable cooling fans.

For single processor systems without a mid drive tray, only four cooling fans are required. Fan bays 1 and 2 are covered by a fan

blank.

NOTE:

Each fan is listed in the systems management software, referenced by the respective fan number. If there is a

problem with a particular fan, you can easily identify and replace the proper fan by noting the fan numbers on the cooling

fan assembly.
