Replacing the system fan assembly

This section provides instructions on how to replace the system fan assembly.

Note:

When you receive your new system fan assembly, you will receive new

rubber mounts.

1. Open the computer cover. See “Opening the cover” on page 84.

2. Locate the system fan connector. See “System board locations” on page 83.

3. Disconnect the system fan assembly cable from the system board. See “System

board locations” on page 83.

4. You might have to remove the hard disk drive to gain access to the system

fan. See “Replacing a hard disk drive” on page 90.

5. Remove the two rubber mounts from the system fan assembly that connect to

the chassis by breaking them or cutting them with a pair of scissors. Once this

has been done, remove the rubber mounts from the rear of the chassis.

6. Pull the system fan assembly outward from the chassis. Then lift the system

fan assembly out of the chassis.

7. When installing your new system fan assembly, use the new rubber mounts

that come with the new system fan.

8. Install the two short rubber mounts in the new system fan assembly as

shown.

9. Install the two long rubber mounts into the rear of the chassis as shown. Push

the mounts through the holes of the chassis. If necessary, pull the mounts

through the holes from inside the chassis.
