Removing a cooling fan

Prerequisites

NOTE 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.
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 are shipped with your product.
CAUTION The cooling fans are hot swappable. To maintain proper cooling while the system is on, replace only one fan at a time.
CAUTION Do not operate the system with the cover removed for a duration exceeding five minutes.
NOTE The procedure for removing each fan is identical.
  1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
