Removing and Installing a Fan

CAUTION:
Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the
components inside the system. See your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety
precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.

NOTICE:
Do not remove more than one fan at a time and do not operate the system with any fan removed for an
extended period of time. Overheating can occur, resulting in a system shutdown and loss of data.

insert the fan into the fan bracket.
The fan will start when it seats into the connector.
