Removing a Cooling-Fan Module

WARNING:

The cooling fans can continue to spin for some time after the system

has been powered down. Allow time for the fans to stop spinning before handling
them.

CAUTION:

The system requires at minimum a cooling-fan module to be installed

in the cooling shroud’s outer fan-module slot (see Figure 3-10) at all times to
ensure proper system cooling.

1 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system

from the electrical outlet and peripherals.

2 Open the system. See "Opening the System."
3 Remove the expansion card stabilizer. See "Removing the Expansion Card

Stabilizer."

4 Remove the cooling shroud (see "Removing the Cooling Shroud") and

turn the shroud upside-down.

5 Press the fan-module release tabs towards each other, and slide the module

up and out of the cooling shroud. See Figure 3-10.
