Installing a Cooling Fan
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in
your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not
covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came
with the product.
1
Align the cooling fan and slide it in the cooling-fan cage until the cooling
fan is firmly seated. See Figure 3-23.
NOTE: The fan blades should face the front panel of the system.
2
Connect the fan’s power cable to the connector on the fan-controller board.
You must route these cables properly through the tabs on the chassis
to prevent them from being pinched or crimped.
3
Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 92.
4
Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn on the system,
including any attached peripherals.
