Figure 4-16. Cooling Fan Removal
If you are replacing the fan in the upper power supply slot, see “Cooling Fan in
Upper Power Supply Bay” found earlier in this chapter. To remove one of the
redundant cooling fans, follow these steps.
NOTES: This procedure can be performed with the computer turned on. The
middle fan is normally turned off by server management; it is turned on only if
one of the other fans fails.
1. Disconnect the cooling fan’s power cable from its respective FAN con-
nector on the system board.
2. Press down the catch on the fan carrier, and remove the fan carrier
from the chassis.
3. Remove the cooling fan from the fan carrier by releasing the two fan
retention tabs inside the carrier.
