1.Put on the ESD wrist strap and ground yourself by inserting the plug into the ESD connector located in the upper right corner of the chassis rear.
2.Push down on the latch release with your thumb.
3.Remove the fan assembly from the chassis by grabbing the handle on the fan assembly and pulling it toward you as shown in Figure 44 and Figure 45. Pulling the enclosure unseats the fan assembly connector from a chassis connector.
