Removing and replacing the enclosure fan cover

You might need to have the enclosure fan cover replaced or temporarily removed as part of another procedure. This procedure must be performed by an IBM® SSR.

1. If you did not already remove the enclosure from the rack as part of another service procedure, remove the enclosure from the rack as described in Removing and replacing the enclosure.
2. To remove the enclosure fan cover, complete the following steps:
   1. Using a T8 Torx driver, remove the nine mounting screws, as shown in Figure 1.

      

   2. Remove the three screws along the rear edge of the door.
   3. Remove the four screws near the door hinge line.
   4. Remove the two screws half-way down each side of the enclosure.
   5. Lift the enclosure fan cover from the enclosure.
3. Place the new fan cover onto the enclosure, and reinstall the nine screws to secure the cover, as shown in Figure 1.
4. If you are replacing only a faulty fan cover, replace the enclosure in the rack, as described in Removing and replacing the enclosure.
