Removing a Cooling-Fan Module
WARNING:
Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system
cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before you begin this
procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.
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 outer fan-module slot of the fan cage (see Figure 3-24) 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 Rotate the system feet inward and lay the system on a flat surface.
3 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 85.
4 Press the fan-module release tabs towards each other, and slide the module
up and out of the fan cage. See Figure 3-24.
