Removing A Cooling Fan Module
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.
CAUTION: The cooling fans are hot-swappable. To maintain proper cooling while the system is on, replace only
one fan at a time.
NOTE: The procedure for removing each cooling fan module is identical.
Ensure that the service action allowed indicator lights blue before you remove the cooling fan module. For more
information, see
Cooling Fan Module LED Indicator Codes .
1. Identify and locate the failed cooling fan module.
CAUTION: Remove the cooling fan module from the system only if the service action allowed indicator lights
blue. Removing the cooling fan module from the system when the service action allowed indicator is off may
damage the system.
2. Press the cooling fan module release latch to release the cooling fan module handle.
3. Rotate the cooling fan module handle away from the system, until the cooling fan module is released from the slot.
