Cooling fans
Your system supports eight hot-swappable cooling fans that provide cooling to the I/O components in the system.
To provide increased cooling to the PCIe components in the system, you can change the Fan Offset options from the CMC
web interface.
For more information on the Fan Offset properties, see Advanced Fan Configuration in the CMC Online Help.
NOTE: If you are removing a fan, replace it immediately with another fan. Operating the system for an extended period of
time without a fan installed can cause the enclosure to overheat.
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 appropriate fan by noting the fan numbers on the cooling-fan bay. If any of
the fans fail, the LEDs on the fan light up.
NOTE: The cooling fans in your system are shipped in two sizes of 80 mm and 60 mm width.
Removing a cooling fan
Prerequisites
NOTE: Opening or removing the system cover when the system is on may expose you to a risk of electric shock. Exercise
utmost care while removing or installing cooling fans.
NOTE: The cooling fan can continue to spin for some time after it has been powered down. Allow time for the fan to stop
spinning before removing it from the system.
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 are shipped with your 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: To ensure proper operation and cooling, you must replace a cooling fan within two minutes of
removal.
NOTE: You must remove a cooling fan to replace a faulty fan or service other components in the system.
NOTE: The procedure for removing each fan is identical.
1. Ensure that you read the Safety instructions on page 33.
2. Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system on page 33.
3. Remove the system cover.
Steps
Locate the fan you want to remove, press the fan release tab, and lift the cooling fan out of the cooling-fan cage.
