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.

Ensure that none of the following conditions exist:

•System cover, cooling shroud, EMI filler panel, memory-module blank, or back-filler bracket is removed.

•Ambient temperature is too high.

•External airflow is obstructed.

•A cooling fan is removed or has failed.

•The expansion card installation guidelines have not been followed.

Troubleshooting Cooling Fans

1.Open the system.

2.Reseat the fan or the fan's power cable.

3.If the fan functions properly, close the system.

If the problem persists, see Getting Help.
