Safe to remove fan from switch?

Depends I guess on the switch itself, how hot it actually gets, heat of the room it's in.

I remember having an old 3COM 16 port workgroup hub...the fan bearings started to go, I yanked the fan....she'd run but occasionally seem to lock up once in a while. Not to mention...WOW get hot on the bottom...I was half worried that it's burn up, so stopped using it because of that.
 
Not a very good idea to disable the fan, it'd be a better idea to replace the fan with a quieter one, unless you want to take the top cover off so it can get rid of heat.
 
The fan is there for a reason. If the manufacturer could have done it w/o a fan believe me they would have.
