2.7 Removable components
You may need to remove previously installed system components when installing
or removing system devices, or when you need to replace defective components.
This section tells how to remove the following components:
1. Hot-swap mid-fans
6. System fan board
2. Power supply modules 7. Power supply cage
3. Optical drive/floppy drive 8. LAN adaper (Optional)
4. Front panel LED/switch board 9. LAN cable

2.7.1 Hot-swap mid-fans (80mm)
The fan LED lights up green in normal operation. If the LED color turns orange, the
fan is faulty and should be replaced.
To remove an 80mm hot-swap fan:
1. Stand in front of the system and open the
top cover.
2. Use the thumb and index finger of your
right hand to flip up the right handle, and
the thumb and index finger of your left
hand to flip up the left handle of the fan
that you want to remove.
Avoid touching the fan blades while
removing the fan. Spinning fan blades
may cause injury!
3. Firmly hold the handles and pull up
the fan until it is disengaged from its
connector.
Note on the power supply mid-fan
When you re-install the mid-fan for the power
supply module(s) make sure that the arrow
points to the direction of the rear panel.
Installing the fan otherwise will cause CPU
overheating.
