Figure 25: Fan Cabling

6.Remove the fan cable from the foam assembly, being careful not to break the foam.

7.Remove the fan from the foam assembly. All systems fans sit differently in the assembly, but in general, each fan can slide in and out of the foam in only one way.

Note:

The two installed fans nearest the 5.25-inch drive bays (fans 6 and 7 in Figure 25) are separated by a square piece of foam (the piece with a crescent- shaped hole) that extends perpendicularly from the front of the fans (in

Figure 25, it is the rectangle between the round faces of fans 6 and 7). You must remove this piece to access the two fans it separates (pull it straight out).
