Action

CAUTION:

Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system

cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before performing any
procedure, see your

Product Information Guide

for complete information about

safety precautions, working inside the computer and protecting against
electrostatic discharge.

Run the appropriate diagnostic test. See "Using Dell PowerEdge
Diagnostics" on page 127.

Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system
from the electrical outlet.

Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 47.

CAUTION:

The cooling fans are hot-pluggable. To maintain proper cooling while

the system is on, only replace one fan at a time.
