Replacing a fan
Complete the following steps to replace a fan.
1.
Using the Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the captive screw on the fan.
DANGER
Be careful not to accidently insert your fingers into the fan tray while removing it from the chassis. The fan may
still be spinning at a high speed.
2.
Remove the fan from the chassis by using the handle on the fan to pull it straight out and away from the chassis.
3.
Install the new fan in the chassis:
a)
Check to see that the airflow direction is the same as the fan you are replacing.
b)
Orient the new fan with the captive screw on the right.
NOTE
Do not force the installation. If the fan does not slide in easily, ensure that it is correctly oriented before continuing.
c)
Gently push the fan into the chassis until it is firmly seated.
d)
Using the Phillips screwdriver, secure the fan to the chassis by tightening the captive screw.
