Cooling fans
Your system supports six hot-swappable cooling fans that are mounted in a memory riser and fan cage.
These fans provide cooling for the processors, expansion cards, and memory modules. Individual fans are
connected to the fan tray located below the fan cage. The fan tray is connected through a single 12x2
connector to the system board.
NOTE: In the event of a failure, excessive temperature, or a problem with a particular fan, the fan
number is referenced by the Embedded Server Management (ESM), allowing you to easily identify
and replace the particular fan by noting the fan numbers on the memory riser and fan cage.
WARNING: Do not place any physical obstructions in the front or rear of the chassis. This may
cause a decrease in airflow, resulting in an over-heating condition.
Removing a cooling fan
Prerequisites
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.
WARNING: Opening or removing the system cover when the system is on may expose you to a
risk of electric shock. Exercise utmost care while removing or installing cooling fans.
WARNING: Do not operate the system without the cooling fans or the system cover.
WARNING: The cooling fans operate at a high speed. To avoid injury, do not attempt to touch the
cooling fan blades while working on cooling fans.
CAUTION: The cooling fans are hot-swappable. To maintain proper cooling while the system is
on, replace only one fan at a time.
NOTE: The procedure for removing each fan is identical.
