4.5 Bottom Exhaust Fan – Hard Disk Drive Chamber
There is a 120 mm fan preinstalled at the bottom of the Hard Disk Drive Chamber to exhaust the heat generated from
the hard disk drives. The fan is set to rotate at 1200 rpm to generate a steady air flow from top to bottom, efficiently
cooling your drives with less noise and turbulence.
To access the fan bracket:
1. Open the right side small panel as demonstrated in Section 2.1, Figure 4.
2. The fan bracket is located on the bottom of the Hard Disk Drive Chamber (figure 41).
3. Push the tab on the side of the bracket to unclick the fan and lift it up from the location (figure 42).
4. You can service your fan now.
5. Place the fan bracket back into its location. Push the bracket in until you hear a click, indicating the
bracket is secured.
Note : Install the fan in the direction that allows air intake
4.6 Opening the Top Panel

1. Open the side panel.
2. Remove the top fan bracket as demonstrated in Section 4.1, Figure 31.
3. There are six tabs holding the top panel. Three tabs on each side.
4. While using your fingers to press the tab towards the side of the case, use your other hand to lift the top
panel up a bit to disengage the tab.
5. Repeat the process for the rest of the tabs.
6. Carefully lift the top panel up.
7. To reinstall, align the tabs and the I/O Panel with the front of the case and push down gently.
