Step 4
Set the fan module down on one of its covered sides only on an antistatic pad or inside an antistatic bag.
Caution Keep your face away from the front of the fabric module so that the levers do not hit your face when they
spring out from the front of the module.
When removing the fan module, keep your hands and fingers away from the spinning fan blades. Let the fan
blades completely stop before you remove the fan module. Statement 258
