IMPORTANT: When installing or replacing server components, one or more fans might need to
be removed. To prevent an orderly or immediate server shutdown, HP highly recommends
powering down the server during these procedures. To determine if powering down is required,
see the specific procedure.
To remove the component:
1. Do one of the following:
o For tower models, open and remove the bezel ("Remove the tower bezel" on page 26).
o For rack models, if installed, remove the security bezel (on page 26).
2. Power down the server (on page 25).
3. Remove all power:
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
b. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
4. Do one of the following:
o For tower models, place the server on a flat, level surface with the access panel facing up.
o For rack models, extend the server from the rack (on page 27).
5. Remove the access panel ("Access panel" on page 28).
6. Remove the air baffle ("Air baffle" on page 29).
