Installing a Cooling Fan

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.

1 Align the fan module so that the side with the power cable faces toward

the back of the system.

2 Slide the fan module into the fan assembly until the fan is fully seated.

See Figure 3-13 and F igure 3-14.

3 Connect the fan’s power cable to the power connector on the system board

or power distribution board as applicable.

4 Route the power cable through the guides on the chassis.

NOTE:

For twelve–hard-drive systems, first replace the internal hard-drive

carrier and bay. See "Installing an Internal Hard-Drive Bay" on page 93.

After installing fans 3 and 4, replace the storage controller card. See
