WARNING: Do not place any physical obstructions in the front or rear of the chassis. This may cause a decrease
in airflow, resulting in an over-heating condition.
Removing A Cooling Fan
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Do not operate the system without the cooling fans or the cover.
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.
CAUTION: The cooling fans are hot-swappable. To maintain proper cooling while the system is on, replace only
one fan at a time.
NOTE: The procedure for removing each fan is identical.
1. Open the system.
2. Press the tabs on the top of the fan inward toward each other and lift the cooling fan out of the fan cage.
The cooling fan slides out after it disengages from the connector on the fan tray.
