how to install HPE DL38X Gen10 Plus Maximum Performance Fan Kit

Power down the server, unplug all cables, and ground yourself to prevent static discharge. Remove the side panel to access the front fan cage. Detach the existing fans from the cage and prepare the DL38X Max Performance kit. Align the new fan assembly with the cage, snap or slide it into place, and secure with the provided mounting hardware. Connect the included fan cables to the system board headers, ensuring correct orientation and solid seating. Reinstall the side panel, reconnect power, and boot the server. Enter the BIOS or iLO/Unified Extensible Firmware Interface to verify fan status and thermal sensors, then monitor temperatures under workload to confirm stable cooling performance.
