To remove a hot-swap fan:

Remove the top cover:

  1. Press down firmly on the blue tab on top of the cover and slide it to the rear until it disengages from the chassis.
  2. Lift the cover off the server and set it aside.

Remove the hot-swap fan:

  1. Lift the clear tab on the dimm air baffle then grasp the orange tabs on each end of the fan and lift it up and out of the server.

Note: you must lift the clear tab on the dimm air baffle only if you are removing fans 3 or 4.

Use the same procedure to remove any additional fans if required.

Note: if you remove a fan with the server running you must install a replacement within 30 seconds or the server will shut down.
