Removing the cooling fan assembly
Installing the cooling fan assembly

The cooling fan assembly is an essential part of a server’s cooling system. It ensures that the key components of the server such as the processors, hard drives, and memory get adequate air circulation to keep them cool. A failure in the server’s cooling system can result in the server overheating and may lead to damage.

Removing the cooling fan assembly

1.
Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
2.
Follow the procedure listed in the Before working inside your system section.
* 
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.
1.
Unlock the cooling fan assembly from the chassis by lifting the release levers.
2.
Lift the cooling fan assembly out of the chassis.

Installing memory modules

Your system supports DDR4 registered DIMMs (RDIMMs). System memory holds the instructions that are executed by the processor.

* 
NOTE: MT/s indicates DIMM speed in MegaTransfers per second.

Memory bus operating frequency can be 1866 MT/s, 2133 MT/s, or 2400 MT/s depending on the following factors:

•
DIMM type (RDIMM)
•
DIMM type (RDIMM or LRDIMM)
•
Number of DIMMs populated per channel
•
System profile selected (for example, Performance Optimized, Custom, or Dense Configuration Optimized)
•
Maximum supported DIMM frequency of the processors

Your system contains 24 memory sockets split into two sets of 12 sockets, one set per processor. Each 12-socket set is organized into four channels. In each channel, the release tabs of the first socket are marked white, the second socket black, and the third socket green.

Figure 16. Memory socket locations

This figure helps in locating memory sockets.

Memory channels are organized as follows:

Table 29. Memory channels

This tables describes memory channels and how the channels are organized.
