Replacing a fan assembly
Complete the following steps to replace a fan assembly.

assembly being replaced.
2. Using the Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the captive screw on the fan assembly.
3. Remove the fan assembly from the chassis by pulling the handle on the fan assembly out and away
from the chassis.
4. Install the new fan assembly in the chassis:
a) Orient the new fan assembly with the captive screw on the right, as shown in the following
illustration.
b) With one hand, hold the bar on the front panel of the fan. With the other hand, support the
underside of the fan, and insert it into the empty fan slot. Slide the new fan into the chassis until
the latch engages.

Do not force the installation. If the power supply and fan assembly does not slide in easily,
ensure that it is correctly oriented before continuing.
If the device is powered up, the fan will immediately power up.
c) Using the Phillips screwdriver, secure the fan assembly to the chassis by tightening the captive
screw.
