Removable components
You may need to remove previously installed system components when
installing or removing system devices, or when you need to replace
defective components. This section tells how to remove the following
components:
1. Hot-swap mid-fans
4. Optical drive/floppy drive
2. Rear fans
5. Front panel LED/switch board
3. Power supply modules
6. SCSI backplanes
2.7.1 Hot-swap mid-fans (80mm)
The fan LED lights up green in normal operation. If the LED color turns
orange, the fan is faulty and should be replaced.
To remove an 80mm hot-swap fan:
1. Stand in front of the system and
open the top cover.
2. Use the thumb and index finger of
your right hand to flip up the right
handle, and the thumb and index
finger of your left hand to flip up
the left handle of the fan that you
wish to remove.
3. Firmly hold the handles and pull
up the fan until it is disengaged
from its connector.
2.7.2 Rear fans (60mm)
To uninstall the rear fans:
1. Press the rear fan cage levers, two on
each side and two on the bottom.
2. Pull the fan cage from the chassis.
Avoid touching the fan blades while removing the fan. Spinning fan
blades may cause injury!
