This tip applies to IBM PC300PL series 6862 systems manufactured with a Nidec brand front cooling fan.
The front cooling fan can be identified by removing the top cover and observing the round, green and grey label located in the center of the cooling fan. The green area of the label will contain the letters "Nidec."
Affected models of Nidec cooling fans can be identified by the letters "CEI" on the bottom right corner of the FRU sticker. The FRU sticker, located on the side of the fan/speaker assembly, will be visible after removing the side bracket that is normally removed when replacing the system board.
Example of a FRU sticker with the letters "CEI" indicating an affected cooling fan:
76H4907 28/98 |
Fix:
If the symptoms described above persist or the FRU sticker label contains the letter code "CEI", replace the fan/speaker assembly with FRU P/N 76H7332.
