Cooling Fans, Removing a Cooling Fan | Dell R210 II guide

Cooling Fans

Your system contains three single-motor fans and provides cooling for the processor, expansion card, and memory modules.

NOTE: Hot-swap removal or installation of the fans is not supported.

NOTE: In the event of a problem with a particular fan, the fan number is referenced by the system’s management software, allowing you to easily identify and replace the proper fan by noting the fan numbers on the fan assembly.

Removing a Cooling Fan

WARNING: The cooling fan can continue to spin for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow time for the fan to stop spinning before removing it from the system.

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the system without the 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.

NOTE: The procedure for removing each individual fan module is the same.

1Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from its electrical outlet.

2Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 50.

3If applicable, remove the cooling shroud. See "Removing the Cooling Shroud" on page 67.

4Disconnect the fan’s power cable from the system board. See Figure 3-13.
