Figure 4-13. System Cooling-Fan Removal
To remove the system cooling fan, follow these steps:
1. Carefully lay the computer on its right side.
2. Disconnect the system cooling-fan cable from the FAN connector on the
system board (see Figure 4-14).
3. To loosen the system cooling fan from the chassis:
a. Push the plunger of each of the four push-fasteners toward the back of
the chassis, using a small flat-blade screwdriver (or another small flat
object).
b. Pull the plungers completely out of the push-fasteners on the back wall
of the chassis.
4. Remove the system cooling fan and the push-fastener barrels from the
chassis.
To replace the system cooling fan, use four new push-fasteners. (New push-
fasteners have the plunger inserted part-way into the barrel.) Align the
mounting holes in the system cooling fan with the holes in the back wall of the
chassis. Insert each push-fastener completely; then push in the plunger to lock
the fastener.
