Replacing the back panel and drive cage fans

The back panel fan is located below the power supply on the back panel. The drive cage fan is located behind the hot-plug drive cage, between the cage and the system board. (See the illustration on page 6 for more information.)

To remove the back panel or hot-plug cage fan:

1Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if installed), and all external peripheral devices.

2Observe all safety and static electricity precautions. (See “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 22.)

3Remove the bezel. (See “Removing the bezel” on page 25.)

4Remove the left side cover panel. (See “Removing the side cover panel” on page 26.)

5Depress the two locking tabs on the fan bracket, then disengage the two retaining tabs from either the back panel or the hot-plug drive cage.
