System Fans The 6016T MR employs three sets of 4 cm counter rotating fans to provide cooling Each fan unit is made up of two fans joined back to back which rotate in opposite directions This counter rotating action generates exceptional airflow and works to dampen vibration levels The fans can adjust their speed according to the heat level sensed in the system which results in more efficient and quieter fan operation Fan speed is controlled by a setting in BIOS see Chapter 7 Each fan in a set has its own separate tachometer Note It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed for the airflow to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components System Fan Failure If a fan fails the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat fan fail LED on the control panel will blink on and off Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model the system can continue to run with a failed fan Replacing System Fans Figure 6 2 1 Remove the chassis cover to see which fan has failed 2 Power down the server and remove the AC power cord 3 Detach the fan wiring then grasp the failed fan unit and lift it out of the chas sis 4 Replace the failed fan with an identical 4 cm 12 volt fan see Appendix C 5 Push the new fan into the vacant space in the housing making sure the ar rows on the top of the fan indicating air direction point in the same direction
