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 118.
4 Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn on the system,
including any attached peripherals.
