Step 2 Grasp the fan assembly with both hands and pull it outward; gently move it side to side if necessary to unseat it from the backplane. Slide it out of the chassis and place it in a safe place.

Installing the Fan Assembly

Follow these steps to install the new fan assembly:

Step 1 Hold the fan assembly with the fans facing to the right.

Step 2 Place the fan assembly into the fan assembly bay so it rests on the chassis, and then lift the fan assembly up slightly, aligning the top and bottom guides.

Step 3 Slide the fan assembly into the chassis until the two captive installation screws make contact with the chassis.

Step 4 Using a screwdriver, tighten the two captive installation screws by turning them clockwise.
