Removing a middle or rear cooling fan

The procedure for removing a standard and a high performance fans is identical.

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.

CAUTION:

 The cooling fans are hot swappable. To maintain proper cooling while the system is on, replace only

one fan at a time.

1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in 

Safety instructions

 on page 27.

2. Follow the procedure listed in 

Before working inside your system

 on page 28.

Steps

Press the release tab and lift the cooling fan out of the cooling fan assembly.
