Installing an Additional Fan

CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

CAUTION: To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from the electrical outlet before opening the cover.

CAUTION: For configurations with three SAS hard drives, you must install an additional fan.

NOTICE: To avoid damage to the drive, do not set it on a hard surface. Instead, set the drive on a surface, such as a foam pad, that will sufficiently cushion it.

1Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 143.

2Remove the computer cover (see "Removing the Computer Cover" on page 145).

NOTICE: When placing the fan in the computer, ensure that the cables of other components, such as the power supply, remain in their proper position.

3Place the fan flush with the side of the power supply and engage the fan hooks in the three fan slots in the side of the power supply.

4Slide the fan down until it clicks into place.

5Connect the fan cable to the fan connector on the system board.
