Cleaning the Cooling Components

To clean the Fan module:

1. Clean the fan module.
   1. Remove the fan from the chassis.
   2. Spray compressed air into the fan to dislodge and blow away contaminants.
   3. Replace the fan.
2. Clean the air inlets.
   1. Remove the fan bezel from the chassis.

      Note:

      Only the removable fan bezel has vent holes that require cleaning.
   2. Gently wipe the front fan bezel that contains the perforated air inlets with a clean, dry cloth. You can alternatively remove the fan bezel from the system and use compressed air to clean out the perforated air inlets.
      To prevent damage to the painted finish, do not use any solvents or liquids to clean the perforated air inlets on the front of the chassis.
3. Clean the air filters.
   1. Remove the air filter.
   2. Either spray compressed air through the air filter, or use a vacuum, or rinse it under water and let it dry.
   3. Re-install the air filter.
