Cooling Fans
Your system contains four cooling fans, single- or dual-motor depending on
your system configuration. These provide cooling for the processor, PCI cards,
and memory modules. Systems with redundant power supplies also contain
one single-motor fan to provide cooling for the power supplies.
NOTE:
Systems with cabled hard drives contain only four single-motor fans.
NOTE:
Hot-swap removal or installation of the cooling fans is not supported.
NOTE:
In the event of a problem with a particular fan, the fan number is referenced
by the system’s management software, allowing you to easily identify and replace
the proper fan by noting the fan numbers on the fan assembly.
Removing a Cooling Fan
WARNING:
The cooling fan can continue to spin for some time after the system
has been powered down. Allow time for the fan to stop spinning before removing
it from the system.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to operate the system without the 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
came with the product.
