Removing an MX80 Fan Tray

Note: To prevent overheating, install the replacement fan tray immediately after removing the existing fan tray.

To remove the fan tray (see Figure 1):

1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
2. Loosen the captive screw on the fan tray faceplate.
3. Grasp the fan tray handle, and pull it out approximately 1 to 3 inches.

   Warning: To avoid injury, keep tools and your fingers away from the fans as you slide the fan tray out of the chassis. The fans might still be spinning.

4. Press the latch located on the inside of the fan tray to release it from the chassis.
5. Place one hand under the fan tray to support it, and pull the fan tray completely out of the chassis.
