1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 57.
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components
when the server is powered-on might cause the server to halt, which might
result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an
electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work
inside the server with the power on.
2. Remove the fans (see “Hot-swap fan” on page 63).
3. Press the fan cage release latches on each side of the fan cage toward the
sides of the server. The cage will lift up slightly when the release latches are
fully open.
4. Grasp the cage and lift it out of the server.
To install the front fan cage, complete the following steps:
1. Align the guides on the fan cage with release latches on each side.
2. Push the cage into the server until it clicks into place.
3. Install the fans (see “Hot-swap fan” on page 63).

rear of the server.
