Installing System Components

Cooling Fans

The system contains two cooling fans, an expansion card fan for the
expansion cards, and a system fan for the processor and memory modules.

Removing the Expansion Card Fan

CAUTION:

Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system

cover and access any 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.

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

Remove the system cover (see "Removing the System Cover" on page 66).

Open the expansion card cover (see Figure 3-7).

If present, remove the RAID battery and battery carrier (see "Removing a
RAID Battery" on page 99).

Disconnect the fan’s power cable from the system board (see

Figure 6-1

and remove the cable from the adjacent slot on the chassis.

Press the fan release tab and slide the fan up and out of the system.
