Replacing a 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.

1. Open the chassis and locate the faulty fan. Never run the server for an ex-
tended period of time with the chassis open.
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.
