Installing System Components 105
3
Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 83.
4
Reconnect the system to the electrical outlet and turn on the system and
attached peripherals.
Cooling Fans
The system has either five or four hot-swappable fans to provide cooling to
the system’s interior components.
NOTE: In the event of a problem with a particular fan, the fan’s number is
referenced by the system’s management software, allowing you to easily identify
and replace the proper fan.
Removing a 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.
CAUTION: The cooling fans are hot-swappable. To maintain proper cooling while
the system is on, replace only one fan at a time.
CAUTION: The fan blank must be installed in the FAN5 bay to maintain proper
cooling while the system is on.
NOTE: If a fan is installed in FAN5, the fan will still be operational, however the fan
will not appear in the iDRAC user interface unless the fan was installed before the
system was started.
1
Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 83.
WARNING: Use caution when handling the fan until the fan blades stop spinning.
2
Press the release tab while grasping the ends of the fan and lift the fan
straight up from the fan bracket. See Figure 3-13.
