Installing a VFlash Media Card
1 Locate the VFlash media slot at the back corner of the system.
2 With the label side facing up, insert the contact-pin end of the SD card
into the card slot on the module.
NOTE:
The slot is keyed to ensure correct insertion of the card.
3 Press inward on the card to lock it into the slot.
Cooling Fans
Your system contains four dual-motor fans and provides cooling for the
processor and memory modules and two dual-motor fans for the redundant
power supplies.
NOTE:
Hot-swap removal or installation of the fans is not supported.
NOTE:
In the event of a problem with a particular fan, the fan number is referenced
by the system’s management software, allowing you to easily identify and replace
the proper fan by noting the fan numbers on the fan assembly.
Removing a Cooling Fan
WARNING:
The cooling fan can continue to spin for some time after the system
has been powered down. Allow time for the fan to stop spinning before removing it
from the system.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to operate the system without the cooling fan.
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in
your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service
and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is
not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that
came with the product.
NOTE:
The procedure for removing each individual fan module is the same.
1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect
the system from its electrical outlet.
2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 82.
