CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless
all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
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.
IMPORTANT: When replacing one failed fan only in a redundant configuration, powering down
the server is not required.
To remove the component:
1. Power down the server (on page 27).
2. Do one of the following:
o Open or remove the tower bezel, as needed ("Tower bezel" on page 30).
o Extend the server from the rack (on page 28).
3. Remove the access panel ("Access panel" on page 31).
4. Locate the fan to be removed ("Fans" on page 95).
