Remove a Fan Module

Removing a fan module is a cold-service operation. You must power off the server before you remove the fan module.

1. Determine which fan module to remove.

   See Locate a Faulty Fan Module.

2. Consider your next step.

   • If you have not prepared for service, do so now. See Preparing for Service.

   • If you are removing a fan module as part of another component's removal or installation procedure, go to Step 3.

3. On the fan module to be replaced, pull the green band straight up and lift the fan module out of the chassis.
   
4. Set the fan module aside.
5. Repeat from Step 3 for any additional fan modules to be removed.
6. Consider your next step.

   • If you removed a fan module as part of a replacement operation, install a new fan module. See Install a Fan Module.

   • If you removed a fan module as part of another component's removal or installation procedure, return to that procedure. See Component Service Task Reference for assistance.
