Replacing
the
Fan
Array
Be
sure
to
read
the
guidelines
in
“Working
Safely
Inside
the
Xserve”
on
page
5
before
you
start
this
procedure.
To
remove
the
fan
array:
1 Shut
down
the
Xserve,
unplug
it,
remove
it
from
the
rack,
and
wait
a
few
minutes
to
let
the
Xserve
internal
components
cool.
For
instructions,
see
page
6.
It’s
a
good
idea
to
use
the
enclosure
key
to
lock
the
enclosure
lock
on
the
front
panel
so
you
don’t
inadvertently
unlatch
a
drive
module
while
you’re
moving
the
Xserve.
2 When
the
Xserve
has
cooled
down,
unlock
the
enclosure,
loosen
the
thumbscrews
at
the
back,
and
remove
the
top
cover.
For
help,
see
page
7.
3 Using
a
small
Phillips
screwdriver,
loosen
but
don’t
completely
remove
the
five
screws
holding
the
plastic
airflow
duct
in
place
and
remove
the
duct.
Note:
The
unfastened
screws
are
held
in
the
duct
by
small
rubber
washers.
To
avoid
losing
or
dropping
the
screws,
don’t
pull
the
screws
out
of
the
duct.
WARNING:
Wait
a
few
minutes
for
the
Xserve
to
cool
down
before
you
try
to
remove
the
fan
array.
The
array
and
components
near
it
may
be
very
hot.
