Dell PowerEdge R930 - Removing a Cooling Fan

NOTE: In the event of a failure, excessive temperature, or a problem with a particular fan, the fan number is referenced by the
Embedded Server Management (ESM), allowing you to easily identify and replace the particular fan by noting the fan numbers
on the memory riser and fan cage.
WARNING: Do not place any physical obstructions in the front or rear of the chassis. This may cause a decrease in airow,
resulting in an over-heating condition.
