    2. Lift the cover off and set it aside.
  2. Remove the Hot-swap Fan:
    Note that the air baffles have been removed to provide a better view.
    1. Grasp the fan by the finger grips on the sides of the fan and lift it up and out of the server.
    2. 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.
