Cooling fans
Servers use a lot of power to function, and that in turn generates a lot of heat. That heat, without a cooling system in place to
dissipate it, can destroy the electronic and mechanical parts of the server. In most cases, the simplest and most efficient way to
dissipate this heat is through the use of fans.
Removing a cooling fan
Prerequisites
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the system without the cooling fans.
WARNING: The cooling fan can continue to spin for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow time for
the fan to stop spinning before removing it from the system.
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

instructions that are shipped with your product.
NOTE: Observe the routing of the cables when removing them from the system. Route these cables properly when you
replace them to prevent the cables from being pinched or crimped.
