take the server out of service, turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system, turn
off the system by pressing the power button, and unplug the AC power cord from the

Note: The fans that are integrated into the power supply cannot be replaced separately. If one of
the fans in the power supply fails, you must replace the power supply.
The system blowers and PCI fan are located in the front of the server system, which you
can individually replace if one of them fails. If a fan in the power supply fails, you must
